Links: [home] Picture size (pictures per line):

Enjoy!

#1 ◱ Here is a side view of our FIRST Dragon Fruit.

#2 ◱ I started the plant from the seeds of a Dragon Fruit that I bought at the grocery store.

#3 ◱ You can see the first bloom on the left, and a second bloom on the right that hasn't swollen yet.

#4 ◱ I think the first bloom was actually closing when this picture was taken.

#5 ◱ Here's a closeup of bloom 2.

#6 ◱ Closeup of insides

#7 ◱ Bloom one

#8 ◱ We got our first Dragon Fruit flower on the 7th of August, 2012. Here Don is doing a size comparison. :-)

#9 ◱ The first one is on the left, and it's flower is wilting, and the second one on right is starting to bulge.

#10 ◱ Here is the second flower. I woke up and checked about 4:47am

#11 ◱ I was surprised to see it in bloom.

#12 ◱ Here's #2 with my hand.

#13 ◱ The Dragon fruit is growing in a long planter box. It has hardly any soil. I keep wanting to transplant it, but haven't figured out where.

#14 ◱ I thought Cindy would make a cute "Hawaiian Girl" look with the flower. At 6:20am she was willing. :-)

#15 ◱ You can see that bloom two is now closing. Mouse over the picture for the time comparisons.

#16 ◱ You can see that a lot of my plants died while on vacation, except weeds and the dragon fruit.

#17 ◱ You can also see why I need to move the dragon fruit. :-)

#18 ◱ Second flower closing.
