Pitaya, more commonly referred to as the Dragon fruit is an extremely beautiful fruit that has dazzling flowers with an intense shape and colour. The dragon fruit of this variety is red in colour. Some types of this fruit are white, pink or yellow. The skin of the dragon fruit is a thin rind. The skin is usually covered in scales, and the centre of the fruit is made up of a red or white, sweet tasting pulp. Dragon fruit is cultivated in tropical regions around the world. The plant of the dragon fruit can grow from around a few centimetres to up to six meters. It flourishes in hot regions with a heavy rainfall. Periods of cold will kill the plant, and it loves the high temperatures found in tropical regions. The flowers of the dragon fruit plant only bloom at night and usually only live for one night. Pollination happens at this time to allow the fruit to emerge. The flowers of the dragon fruit give out a very beautiful scent, and the smell can fill the night air wherever the plant grows.
