Red Pineapple / Ananas comosus – Flora of Goa: Photographed this Ananas comosus in Goa, in a garden, back in Dec 2008.
I dunno if it’s different from common Ananas or it’s same, just red in colour.

Beautiful pics and for me they are special as I am seeing the flowers for the first time. Thanks a lot.

Yes I have also never seen the flowers.
Good pictures indeed.

Is it the same ananas that we eat?

I guess I got lucky to see those Pineapples flowers.
…, I searched and found that this is Ananas bracteatus and not Ananas comosus (as I wrote earlier)
and It originated from Brazil. Also dat d ripe fruit is edible, but it is smaller and less fleshy than common pineapples
U can see more pics I found on this blog –
