The image displays an unripe pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) situated in Papeete, France. A single pineapple fruit, approximately 15-20 cm in length, is centrally positioned atop the plant. The fruit displays a brown, textured surface composed of distinct hexagonal scales, transitioning to greenish-purple at its spiky crown. Surrounding the fruit are numerous long, rigid, sword-shaped leaves, exhibiting variegated coloration of deep reddish-orange, green, and yellow, with prominent serrated edges. The plant is rooted in an area of sparse green grass and exposed soil. In the upper background, the lower body panel of a light-colored vehicle is visible above a dark shadow, adjacent to a grey concrete curb. The scene is brightly illuminated by direct sunlight, casting strong shadows.
