My California
The 
My California is represented in a Dragon Fruit this week.
Before I came here, I never ever had seen such a thing. The first time, I saw a fruit in a store, it was $ 5.99 per lb. I had to buy one!! It just looked too weird to pass up.
Sadly, the fruit was rather a disappoinment.
Later, I joined the Rare Fruit Growers of California and learned all about Dragon Fruit.
Here is what I have to say about them.
The flowers are georgeous!!
The plant has tiny thorns that can hurt you!! And they get big and need support - so choose wisely where you plant them.
There are many varieties out there and not all of them are equally good.
But if you get a good one - they are so very delicious!!!
If you have a yard and a friend with a good variety - go for it. Grow some!!!
