The Dragon Fruit is a vining, terrestrial with fleshy stems. White, fragrant flowers adorn the plant in late spring to early fall. Flowers are elaborate and bloom only at night. Produces round, Red colored fruits. The round fruit is covered with distinguished scales and can get up to 5 inches long.
