Some of you might be scratching your head "what on earth is dragon fruit?". I'll let wikipedia shed some light to everyone.
"The pitaya (also known as pitahaya, dragon fruit, huǒ lóng guǒ (火龍果/火龙果), strawberry pear, nanettikafruit, or thanh long) is the fruit of several cactus species, especially of the genus Hylocereus. Native to Mexico and Central and South America, these vine-like epiphytic cacti are also cultivated in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia. They are also found in Taiwan, Israel, and southern China. The pitaya only flowers at night, they are large white flowers that are often called Moonflower or Queen of the Night."

2 nights ago, the dragon fruit plant gave a full display of its flowers. It started to blossom at around 7pm and by 12 midnight it reached its full blossom. In case you do not know, the flower will only last for about 12~16 hours. It was indeed a magnificent sight looking at the pure white flower blossoming in the middle of the night. My dad was especially excited as this was the very first flower which came out of his "precioussssss" dragon fruit plant.

used to have this plant at home long time ago, but seems like it didnt last that long.
yeah.... the flower doesn't last long, but hopefully the plant itself does.
