Many thanks to Judy Showers for pointing out www.photopoint.com, where
three photographs of Hylocereus undatus in flower can now be seen. No
'Dragon Fruits', though.
I should mention that H. undatus, one of several cacti known as
'Night-blooming Cereus', flowers at night, the flowers last but one
night, and that that the photographs posted were taken in early morning
after the blooms had already begin to close and die. So they are not
seen at their full expanse and advantage.
The size of the flowers can be gauged from the close-up that shows a
common garden-variety honeybee (Apis mellifera) within one of the flowers.
As for trading seeds, I give them away or trade them. Nothing on hand at
the moment, however, but just let me know what interests. But I have to
say that I am a little disappointed at never having heard any results
from the two dozen members of this list who requested and received seeds
of Zephyranthes citrina (yellow rain lily) two and a half years ago.
