The dragon fruit flowers are here

I think dragon fruit only grows in tropical countries.

@Alexandoy Yes you are right.

@Alexandoy it came from mexico, desert area. Fortunately it grows well in tropical country

Gee, thank you for the kind words.

Many of our friends love dragon fruit so they always have a request for the fruits.

@Alexandoy we have this a lot at home before the pandemic. Nowadays, I don't see much of it in groceries.

@allen0187 the farms may not be having a good harvest.

@Alexandoy yes I researched it, if I'm lucky I could make it in nine months ( i hope ) since I planted long branches given by my son's " ninang" ( godmother ) who owns a farm. I'm experimenting using natural nitrogen fertilizer made from giant ipil ipil leaves. I'm fine waiting 1 to 1.5 years if what I'm thinking is wrong since mine is just in large pots and not on the ground.

@louievill the fruiting season starts now until September or October. I still don't know how to make it bear fruits out of season.

Next year your dragon fruit will be having flowers. It just takes 1 and 1/2 years from planting to fruiting.

This dragon fruit is the red variety that we call purple. It is so sweet unlike the white that is good for salad.

@nawala123 only the white variety is made into a salad. The purple or red is eaten like it is.

@Alexandoy i like eating it fresh. The red one cost 70 cents until $1,3 per kilogram, depend on the season

@Adie04 what is that words of wisdom?

@Alexandoy like quotes for example. I like the quotes as my words of wisdom. But a Bible word also considered as words of wisdom. If for banana, they said 'Like banana bears fruit only once, that's how you going to care your marriage too'.

@Alexandoy I like the banana words of wisdom people done before..

Wait for 2 or 3 days.

Okay, I will post it here when the flower shows itself.

So many of our friends are requesting for the fruit.

You will surely like the flowers when the bloom. Maybe 3 days from now I will post it.

@Alexandoy I'm waiting for it..

If there is no snow in your state then it can grow there. It is succulent and very sweet.
