Power Blossom of the Dragonfruit
14Oct2008 Filed under: Local Author: cglowCame back yesterday night and my mom had a big hoo haa over her latest blossom in the garden. She insisted i take a picture before it’s too late.
This, my friend – is the bloom of a dragonfruit. The dragonfruit, or Hylocereus undatus belongs to the cactus family and the flower above easily measure over 30cm.
According to this source, it is not only a night blooming plant but shows off for one night only. I am so glad my mom was right.

Eh, no wonder in many of the pics on line now, many of the flowers pictured looks like they aren’t done opening yet or is already wilting.
