Default Dragon Fruit update

About two years ago I obtained some fruiting Hylocereus (Dragon Fruit) cuttings and rooted them in pots. When they became of size, I placed them alongside a west-facing fence and erected horizontal lattice over them at about shoulder height. The varieties I have are:
Hylocereus guatemalensis
Hylocereus undatus 'Paul Thomson'
Hylocereus x 'Physical Graffiti'
Hylocereus ocamponis

They have grown ... and grown ... and grown!

Here they were at installation in February 2008:



Here they are now (July 2009), amid various clutter:





The exciting part is the bud formation on the 'Paul Thompson' and 'Physical Graffiti':
