Dragon fruit cacti in bloom now in Southwest, Fl.

Dragon fruit cacti in bloom only at night time! In daytime the blossoms are completely closed. The cactus blossom pictures below are made from a time before sunrise until about less than one hour after sunrise. The  dragon fruit flowers normally bloom before 10:00 pm, and they start closing up by daylight.  Sunrise was delayed by approx half an hour due to a nearby hill and due to slightly cloudy sky that early morning. Check out the pictures below that I took from start to finish of a dragon fruit flower blooming.
