I took this the morning that I picked the pineapple.  And I have to agree with everyone else I know who has grown one.  They taste nothing like the ones in the grocery store.  Ripening on the plant makes a world of difference.

It is long gone now, of course.   Still haven't planted the top we saved, but will do so.  The original plant produced two pineapple plants and the second one is still growing.  No flower yet.  This one stunted the growth of the other and it didn't really take off until this one was about done.
