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.

Thank You all. I guess I got lucky to see those  Pineapples flowers.

Madhuri Ji,   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 -
