Late last night, twelve buds on my pitahaya burst open; my favorite the cluster of four at the top of the eight foot tall chain link fence.
Alas, now, less than twenty hours after their night-blooming show began, they are no more. Hopefully, the brilliant white flowers with their sweet scent attracted the desired pollinators, Dragon Fruit will begin forming at the base of the blossoms, the fruit will ripen to a blush red, and be ready to pick in 45 days (más o menos).

I’ll bet that was a spectacular sight!
And now I’ve got at least 24 pitaya fruit forming and ripening, though 8 are on the other side of the chain link fence! Maybe I should set up a street stand. 😉
