Hi,
This is not a shadegardening question as such, but I thought some of you
might know the answer. Our night-blooming cereus produced a beautiful big
flower the other night, and if that flower was pollinated by one of the
night-flying insects that are plentiful in our yard, then I guess a fruit
is the next step. I have heard that these fruits are edible and quite
tasty. Has anyone ever eaten them? Thanks. (I have eaten prickly pear and
it is delicious.)
