What does Dragon Fruit Flower look like?

Dragon fruit flowers

🐲 What does Dragon Fruit Flower look like?
  • 🪷 Dragon fruit flowers are large, bright, and truly eye-catching. They have long, pale petals that spread out like a star, with a creamy white or yellowish center.
  • 🪷 The flowers open at night, giving them a magical, moonlit vibe, and their size makes them look almost otherworldly.
  • 🪷 When they bloom, they can be up to a foot wide, and they give off a sweet, subtle fragrance. It's like seeing a flower from a fairy tale!
