Hylocereus undatus - Dragon Fruit Vine Flowers

A lot of people say they cant get them to fruit. I would tell them I do see big moths around here at night.
Congrats, I see them for $8 each at the Asian markets.

It is quite spectacular Delonix1.

Stan:

They need to be hand-pollinated late at night for them to produce fruit. The last flowering this plant had two dozen flowers and I didn't get to pollinate it; however, one fruit is developing. The fruit on this variety is very good and sweet! It's a very common vine here.

Klahanie:

Thanks! :>)

This flowering is not so spectacular as usual. The last flowering a few weeks ago was very spectacular.

wow they look so dramatic.

It's more dramatic with more flowers in the middle of the night. It's a night-blooming vine. I got one fruit on it that's almost ripe. I was upset I missed the big flowering a few weeks back because I didn't get to hand-pollinate the flowers to get more fruit. The fruits ripen very quickly within about 3 weeks. This variety has very sweet fruit, also. I've heard the salmon-colored variety has the sweetest of all varieties.

BathG, they are BIG flowers in person. A few opening at once like in the photo stands out at dusk.

That must be quite a sight to see.

The flowers fully open are over 12" (31cm) wide.
