In cantonese, the "pineapple" sounds like "incoming fortune". While the pineapples sold in the markets can be theoretically grown in a pot, why grow the large ones when you can grow the bonsai variety like the one in my garden orchard? The spike supporting the fruit has grown taller over the last two weeks, but today I noticed a ring of stiff blue flowers forming around the fruit. And those ants too. You get the feel how small this pineapple is. For certain, this fruit is not worth the trouble eating.

Wang Lai! Wang Lai! God of Fortune is coming to our house as chinese new year is approaching. Maybe you should try to grow all kinds of local fruits like durian and named it as CLD (Chau loong's Durian)like those D24 then when all the fruits are ripe, organise a fruit feast for us! (We will be your guinea pigs!)
