A pineapple has "many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others" in Chinese culture.
?? Theory ??
Digging a little into possible meanings of yesterday's tweet from Pompeo and came across this:
Chinese Pineapple Symbolism Over the years doing this project, I’ve talked to many amazing people. One day, I learned about pineapple symbolism in Chinese culture. What does it mean?
The pineapple is a symbol of good luck! Because of its many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others.
Could this relate to the current political situation between Taiwan and China?
You can grow them here? Wild!
I didn't know it either. My mom & aunt had green thumbs, I just grow tomatoes and squash in the summer. But after my 2 favorite women passed, I decided to make a go of it. I thought they'd just make pretty potted plants but they were outgrowing the pots & I thought what the hell, put them in the ground. The fruit grows dead center. And they were so juicy and sweet when I picked them, even if they were a little small.
