Here is a special treat I am so glad I could share with you! This is a dragon fruit Pitaya flower still opened in the daytime (usually they only flower at night). In this video, I explain the flower and give some dragon fruit growing tips – lessons that I have learnt and methods I employ to grow Pitaya better.

so STUNNING. THANK YOU for filming and sharing.
How gorgeous indeed!
That plant looks amazing! I grow a lot of stuff hydroponically and I'm always looking for odd things to grow. Do you think it would work in hydroponics?
I love the dragon fruit flower, it's definitely a glorious flower.
Sepals
the yellow pitaya is native to S. America.
in their native habitat they are pollinated at night by moths and bats, but bees are present at sunrise.
Are u selling this type of dragon fruit plant?
I hand polinate my dragon gruit at about 9-10 pm with a paint brush and have a great fruit retention.
How lovely! I would love to grow some dragon fruit!
God's wonderful creation!!!
wow' awesome video captured sir' especially the flower fruit, i love it – thanks for sharing 🙂
I have the red smooth Dragon Fruit and I've never seen a flower but I get lots of fruit – but they get "stung" before I get to them.
That flower is so beautiful you need to take a picture of it and frame it.
The fruit tastes like a mild watermelon.
My fruit grows right on the main stem.
You have the sun up at 6 AM ? It's dark here in Florida until 7:30 and then the sun does not show up for another 30 min.
My neighbour’s pitaya shoot out fruits but i could only see a dried flower.
Now that i have planted my own..i can’t wait to marvel before such a flower
WOW!!! I’ve never seen this flower before!!! Is the blossom fragrant?!!! I wonder if your plant might stay hydrated longer in the ground vs the planter.
That is a superb video of a bee in the pitaya flower. Wow!
This is great. I was debating planting dragon fruit.
I have a red dragonfruit plant in a pot and its been there for about 12 years. It's now rootbound and only yielded 1 fruit this year. Can you recommend what I should do? Take a cutting and start over or try to repot? As you know it's really prickly and repotting will be a chore.
Do you think a dragon fruit would grow in a high desert situation, maybe with attention to water? In a large pot? Better in a greenhouse?
1:03 oh my, the kookaburra's laughing hard
Just received 2 cutting from a purple and one from a white dragon fruit plant .Should I plant separately or is it ok to plant together?
What do you think in Mediterranean sea in North Africa
It closes pretty fast u can see it close up as the video goes on
Wow what an amazing moment! Thank you for capturing this for us. I know my comment is a few years too late but I've been binge watching all day- while working from home lol. I subscribed to your channel in October last year. You've basically been teaching me now to grow. Thank you for what you do!
I really wanted you and your wife to have this link. It is a young Chinese family who makes wine, grows their own food, forages ect. Her YT name is Drunkard Lee and this is her cooking video for dragon fruit flowers. I hope you guys enjoy her videos as much as I do!
