Well, where we live we still can only grow these bromeliads indoors, and with good care and some luck they might even live a few years. And I believe this one is called a pink pineapple bromeliad.

(Day 169) Pink Pineapple ?
I'm still amazed to be in a place where plants like the one I shot today grow outdoors, very naturally. Are there people here who are perhaps jaundiced to the point where they don't see the beauty in the natural plants around them, like this one ? I suppose there are, just like those who live where we do might not look twice at the flowers growing locally.

mmoi zeg en mooie kleur.
Fijn weekend
That's one awesome flower and it lives to its name. Looks exactly like a pineapple. It my first time to hear about it or even see a photo of it.
Great capture!
Que coloração linda!
Beijos.
Happy Father's Day to you, Rick ... and thank you for all the beauty you share with us.
@Karen - I didn't even have to travel to a place as exotic as Costa Rica; s/w Florida is where I'm finding plants that rate as 'exotic' vs plants we have at home (which are also very interesting, of course).
@darlin - thanks Darlene. They're wonderful aren't they - especially since we can't just grow them outdoors back home.
Hope your weekend is going well.
@Costea Andrea Mihai - thank you Costea; I too was amazed when I saw it.
@CarreraCaballo - thank you Joseph. Yes, I think God had a lot of fun creating such beauty and variety, and spreading them all over creation.
@Riet - dank u wel; ja, 't zijn prachtige planten. Ook een fijne zondag.
@M. Hassan - yes, gorgeous; they certainly don't grow in my 'neck of the woods' so they're special when I see them. Thanks M; hope your weekend is going well.
@teca - agradeça-o bondosamente (thank you)
@S. Etole - thank you so much Susan; it's good to be part of a great blogging & photography community where everyone shares their talents.
It looks like a pink pineapple too... a very befitting name! And a beautiful photo too!
I did hear they only flower in so many years, not sure if thats true tho.
Its a beauty all the same.
I've never seen a pink pineapple bromeliad. Thank you for the experience. It's gorgeous!
@Katherine - thank you; I searched the internet for a bit till I came across the name - suits it well.
@imac - I'm not sure either - will have to check it out; I had one in the house years ago - bloomed once and then it went downhill till it joined our compost pile :(
@Jeanne Klaver - they are beautiful; I'd only seen the one we had as a houseplant once.
I love visiting warmer climates to see all of the things that happen outdoors that NEVER do at home.
Open air rooms in houses? Never! Not in a million years. Entire houses without windows? Um, nope. :o)
Great shot, Rick! I am finally catching up with my visits, bit by slow bit.
@Krista - yep, sure is nice to have all meals outdoors with a warm breeze blowing - pretty much all the time!
Thanks for stopping by Krista - I'm also playing catch up on comments and blogs.
