    While driving around the country side just to have a change of environment, I passed by a dragon fruit orchard. It was fenced and so I had to take the shots from a distant. Anyway my intention was to share how a mature dragon plant looks like.

    I have never seen dragon fruit much less a mature tree. Very colorful fruit and an interesting inside. Are the black specs seeds? There are so many you must eat them?

    Well I've eaten dragon fruits but never realised just how they grew. Very interesting.
