Hylocereus Costaricensis

dragon fruit

dragon fruit
This cactus grows wild all over the property. I have heard about the fragrant night blooming flowers but haven't seen any. Recently, I was at the river and found a fruit on the cactus. I am not 100% certain I have the correct name for this cactus. I read on the internet there are many different types. I didn't realize it at the time, but the fruit is edible. It's called pitahaya or dragon fruit. I looked for the fruit the next day but it was gone.
