Linking to ...Pink Saturday
These cold, dark days make me miss home so much and I often go back and look of photos of my last visit - 7 years ago - and I found this photo and thought its just perfect for my Pink Saturday post. Dragon fruit is actually a type of cactus know as the Pitaya cacti with the plant flowering only at night and wilting at dawn, its not often you get to see an open flower unless you went out at night. The large flowers rely on nocturnal creatures - bats and moths for fertilization by other pitaya plants, apparently the fruit is very high in fiber, I remember as a lil girl having my Grandmother feed me dragon fruit for tummy troubles!
Although I have never eaten this fruit, it's unusual and very pretty. I would love to sample it and see what the flavor is like. Happy Pink Saturday, Char
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty pink. I have never heard of it either. Happy Pink Saturday.
