The usual places to find pineapple weed (Matricaria discoides) are at the gravelly edges of parking lots and pavements. This pineapple weed is at the edge of the parking lot at Davis Ferry Park. It's as big and robust a pineapple weed as I've ever seen. Usually they're little scrubby plants. Some of the central flowering heads have an unusual fasciation, never seen that before in a pineapple weed either.
