Photo Description
When it is dragon fruit season, you will get to see the beautiful white flowers bloom. However, this flower is nocturnal therefore the best and only time to see these big beautiful flowers fully in bloom is during the night. These photos I snapped were from early morning when the bloom is still beautiful but not as full as the night time. The flowers only last a day, which is a shame because they are so full and lovely to see against the green cactus.

Dragon fruit used to be a rare type of fruit. Now it is distributed and sold to our markets. This plant belongs to the cactus family. Based on facts I have read about dragon fruit, it contains various vitamins and minerals that prevent diseases like diabetes and joint pain.
The dragon fruit grows on a vine, which requires support to protect the plant from stress as it grows in size and becomes laden with delicious fruit. This is a page offers one method for building a frame for a dragon fruit tree.
