Pitaya bloomed--and I just missed it
My pitaya (dragon fruit) bloomed probably yesterday morning and I just missed it. This was the first bloom on this 5 year old plant.
I don't know if they got pollinated. I guess I will have to wait to see if the fruit develops. It is supposed to bloom in 3 years, but kept cutting the plant because it liked to go through the fence into the neighbor's yard so it never got very long. This branch decided to go through the fence of the dog pen over the dog house and that is the only reason it got so long. I think I got 6 blooms and they all bloomed on the same night. The blooms only last one night. They close up in the morning as soon as the sun touches them.
