I lost my night bloomer / Dragon fruit tree.


Last night we had a violent storm with winds up to 60 miles per hour, and my night bloomer was the casualty.
I had a feeling the days were number for this beautiful plant, the coconut trunk holding it was rotting and showing signs that it was cracking.

This picture was from better days.

What a tremendous loss. Did you ever get fruit off of it or just those beautiful flowers?

Oh, so sorry to see your loss. Maybe you can start a new one by planting the cuttings? But then maybe you need to wait for while for it to bloom again. That "better" picture used to make me drooling... so gorgeous!
