This is a view of a raggedy looking pineapple plant. The leaves have turned almost totally red! (Clue: Baby pineapple getting ready to emerge!!!)

The baby is starting to come up from the middle! It looks soft and fuzzy right now.

You can see the 'head' of the pineapple now, poking its way above the 'leaves' of the pineapple plant.
