Belle of the Night

Apr 15, 2008

Remember the cactus pictures from Crane Point in Florida? Well, a fan is pretty sure she’s identified them. Hylocereus undatus in latin, but I prefer the common terms. Belle of the Night, or Dragonfruit cactus, is native to the area and most likely the one photographed.
How cool is that? What great names for a cactus; Belle of the Night, Dragonfruit. I never knew the names for cactus could be so romantic.
Thanks to Betsy for the info.
