After waiting three long years the dream begins to show growth above the spiky leaves
Who would have thought something so prickly could end up being sweet and YUMMY.
Word has it that when grown from the top of a pineapple the plant produces a smaller fruit.

Everyone above has commented like I would, however as an artist, I think the combination of the colors are mellowing, soft to the eye, distinct and God sure knows how to pick His colors…. Well Done Pearl….. sassy

Thanks Sharon! The colors are beautiful, I took the shots just before sunset and I think the golden hue of the end of the day added much to the images.

The second one reminds me of the Victorian botanical drawings and paintings. Walter Fitch might have drawn and colored this pineapple fruit! It is just soft and lovely!
