Dragon Fruit Flowers!

Hello, everyone.  I've been walking 4 or 5 times per week, and after I knock out those steps I'm so relaxed that making a post gets forgotten. But doing a couple of miles early just makes me feel so good.

Today sunrise brought a surprise: thirteen open blossoms on the dragonfruit cactus.
The bees and bumblebees act like they're in shock at the huge amount of nectar and pollen on the buffet.

We have discovered that the birds like to peck out the middle of the fruit before it's fully ripe. Now we need to find a lot of nylon fruit covers quickly.
