More on Dragonfruit....

This Beauty is a Dragonfruit flower. It's on a stalk that looks alot like a cactus, even has thorns. It grows very nicely crawling on the rocks. This one is quite large, about 12" across. Will it eventually produce fruit? Probably not, as most Dragonfruit farmers here have to hand pollinate them, and even then it's hit or miss. They sell the fruit here for about $5.00 a pound, and I understand twice that on Oahu (Honolulu). The fruit has a vitamin c content higher than most any other. And is delicious beyond compare!
