A pineapple? from Crystal in FL

Posted on |

This orange plant is outside my livingroom window, just noticed it…I live in Central Florida.

 

Crystal,

it looks like a bromeliad, perhaps even a pineapple (Ananas comosus) or a similar related terrestrial bromeliad.  The flower cluster is very immature, but as in many other bromeliads, you can tell it is going to flower by its red color.   You may wish to submit more pictures as the flower cluster and/or pineapple develop!
