[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Pineapple, Ananas, Nanas, Pina. Is native to southern Brazil and Paraguay where wild relatives occur. It was spread by the Indians up through South and Central America to the West Indies before Columbus arrived. In 1493 Columbus found the fruit on the island of Guadaloupe and carried it back to Spain and it was spread around the world on sailing ships that carried it for protection against scurvy. The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines and may have taken it to Hawaii and Guam early in the 16th Century. The pineapple reached England in 1660 and began to be grown in greenhouses for its fruit around 1720. The pineapple is a tropical or near-tropical plant. Pineapples are drought-tolerant and will produce fruit under yearly precipitation rates ranging from 25 - 150 in., depending on cultivar and location and degree of atmospheric humidity. They are successfully grown in southern Florida and coastal areas of southern California. The small plant adapts well to container and greenhouse culture and makes an interesting potted plant.

I believe Malaysia is the largest, if not the second largest exporter of pineapples in the world after Hawaii. Good note. I would have prefered if you took this picture from a lower pov.

I laways wondered what the pineapple plant looks like. Good compositon and point of view.
