I love when my #dragonfruit blooms! Their flowers open at night, so I check them with a flashlight.😀 Last year's blooms (In pics -bud to blossom) didn’t bear fruit—I learned I needed a second plant for cross-pollination. Bought one, so fingers crossed for fruit this year June/July!🤞🌸 #natureinspires
