After
the Dragon Fruit fruit has been fully grown, all I need is to wait for it to ripe and have a taste.
One
of my colleagues has ideas in growing pitaya or dragon fruit. So I asked
when will it be okay to pick the fruit since early this week I started noticing
some pink parts on the fruit already. According to him, thirty days after the
flower has bloomed, the Dragon Fruit fruit will be ready for harvest.
Finally, I harvested the fruit and take my first bite on it last night and that is exactly 30 days nga.

On
October 04, 2015, a very light pink streaks started to appear on the scales.

The development of the pink color is very fast that on the following day, the entire fruit is already turning pink.
 |
| October 05 - the entire fruit is getting pinkish |
The
next day, the the color of the Dragon Fruit is more intense and becomes darker on the next two days.
 |
| October 06 - the entire fruit is already pink |
 |
| October 07 - the color intensifies |
On
October 08, 2015, exactly thirty days since the flower bloomed, I harvested and
take the first bite of the fruit.

By the way, here is the complete photos from bud to the ripe fruit.
Though I harvested only one fruit it is worthy enough once I took the first bite. I will just wait and hope that next fruiting season, another fruit will be harvested from my Dragon Fruit.
