Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Flowers


Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Flowers (Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus))

My dragon fruit cactus hopefully will develop some fruit. I hand-pollinated some of the flowers, the night I took the photo. Photo taken July 19, 2017.

You're lucky to have a plant like this.

Thanks. It's a very common plant here. I see them everywhere (a lot of times growing up into trees). They really grow huge and people make really large trellises for them. Many varieties have no thorns, now. This is a purple one...there's red, purple, yellow and salmon varieties. I heard the salmon variety with white meat is the best tasting and really sweet.

Here's a fruit off my plant.
