Description
The dragon fruit plant, also known as the pitahaya or pitaya plant, is a vine-like cactus native to Central and South America. Although it is known to have beautiful flowers, the plant blooms only briefly, and at night.This photo was taken jus after sunrise. After it has flowered, the plant may begin producing the dragon fruit. I've seen a number of them in Florida. This one was growing along a backyard fence along the Pinellas Trail in Largo Florida These are about nine inches across, so I also have a few close up macro shots.
