Sweet, sweet Samapple...

OK, so I wandered to the garden and took some photos of my sweet, sweet Samapple. And her twin. The thought of the "other one" nearly makes me shudder.

You see, Samapple's Twin was born with a defective head, where her stem and head make a 90° angle. Odd, right? Well, that's what I think is the cause of this lack of growth.

On the other hand, Samapple is growing beautifully. Sweet, sweet Samapple.

I do wonder on occasion how Katapple is... Although, there hasn't yet been a Katapple as far as I know. I was at Sam's joint on Saturday and I saw no signs of Pineapply goodness. I did see a cat that was the exact same as one of mine, and that was weird, but no Pineapple babies.

Alas, Kat

Samapple and Friends

Well, it's been ages, and I thought an update was in order. Samapple is snug as a bug in our indoor garden, although Samapple's twin isn't doing so well. I think I'll sneak around in the night and take Samapple's twin away, that way she won't have to endure watching her twin whither and die.

Am I not merciful?

Samapple's friend is doing quite well itself, even though it didn't look that way during the winter months. Samapple's friend is an orchid, and requires quite a bit more care than any Pineapple baby I've yet met. The orchid is nameless right now. Any suggestions?

For the longest time the orchid was just a stick with five leaves. One leaf has since kicked the bucket, and the stick is finally budding - which is much more interesting. Have a look for yourself... Yes, there's a rock next to it on that ledge, and yes, they're friends. I think I'll name that rock... Jonas.

Right now I really can't be bothered to take photos of Samapple, so I'll do that later and put them in the next post.

Until then, auf Wiedersehen,
Samapple's mom.
