One proud mother pineapple. A pot full of babies. One very suspicious disappearance.
Last seen: looking fabulous
She was pink, unmistakable, and sitting proudly above her family. Then the mother pineapple vanished from the pot without so much as a goodbye.
The babies remained at the scene. They have offered no useful statement.
Was it a hungry garden visitor? A fruit-loving opportunist? A particularly bold admirer? The investigation remains open.
Who stole the Pink Pineapple?
Study the evidence, choose your favorite suspect, and join the investigation on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. No suspect has been formally charged. Garden gossip, however, is spreading rapidly.
The babies are still growing
The fruit may be gone, but the little pineapple plants remain. That makes this more than a garden mystery. It is also a story about what continues after an unexpected loss.
Amy’s garden note: When a garden plan changes without permission, look closely at what is still growing. Sometimes the next chapter is already sitting in the pot.
