Hope the price comes down and they get some reds later in t he year. Maybe a whole one that tastes like that one bite did.

Since the dragon fruit around you are just starting to flower, in about a month google search "Dragon Fruit Farm Merritt Island", contact her and see if she has fruit available, much cheaper than getting them from Thrifty, Jason's Best or Downtown Produce, and better tasting to (I think she mostly grows Natural Mystic type, those are the ones she let me taste at work last year).
I have one "new to me" type that I am monitoring, blooming for the first time this year, 6 flowers so far and looks like they will be 6 fruits, didn't give them any help with the pollination. One was from a few weeks about so I feel good about it holding, the other 5 were last week or so and look good so far like they are going to hold. Any flowers on it this year are own their own to see if it pollinates on it's own.
