Pineapples, the official symbol of welcome.
I know in other parts of the country, tulips, and daffodils and violets welcome spring, but here in Key West we can't grow those amazing bulbs. So it's orchids and bougainvillea and pineapples that say welcome.
My Thursday painting class did such an amazing job on their pineapple paintings last week, they inspired me to do one of my own. I love it when that happens.
