Siesta Key resident Joe Volpe captured this dragon fruit in bloom, a rare sight, this weekend during a midnight rainstorm on Siesta Key.
“We started with 13 buds but only eight flowered,” Volpe said. “Four one night, four the next; and now we wait.”
Three years ago Volpe’s neighbor, Lyette Robetti, gave him the dragon fruit cutting.
According to Volpe, the flower is about 9 inches in diameter and only blooms for one night.
