For
about two years, the cuttings of pitaya or Dragon fruit I planted in a pail
has grown and recently started its first bloom.
I tried
to document the process of developing its flower thru series of photos.
However, I haven’t framed the first few days of it.
At
first, I thought it was just another dragon fruit bud for a new branch but after five days, it is different from the usual. The bud is rounded and about 2-3
inches.

After 6
days, the the dragon fruit flower bud became longer and started to get slender.

The
flower grows rapidly and after another 4 days, the flower is already visible.

Two days more, here it is.

After another
two days, I was surprised how it looked when I came home from work.
Matthew told me that it was a corn. Does it really look like one?

The dragon fruit flower might be full bloom that night so I patiently waited and took a photo of it. Isn’t it lovely?

The following day, the dragon fruit flower started to wilt.

Isn’t
it lovely? You can see other photos of dragon fruit flower on my Captured Moments.
Now, I am waiting for its fruit. I am going to share another series of photos of its fruit development.
Have you grown your Dragon Fruit at your place?
