Wild Pineapple


This crazy looking plant is a wild pineapple, captured along the Reef Bay trail.  It looks fairly similar in shape to a regular pineapple plant, except for the bright red leaves extending from the top.  The fruit starting to grow from the top certainly didn't look like a pineapple just yet - although I don't know what a fully grown wild pineapple would look like.

  2. I didn't know either - luckily the trail had signs pointing out different plants and the wild pineapple was one of them
