Loveliest of Trees, the Persimmon Now

A Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) Plant
​These flowers bloom at night and are well nigh 10-inches-long. We don’t expect any fruit this year because torrents of rain spoiled the flowers. 

Ho-yah! Hoya Carnosa

USDA Zone 9 and 10 Plants
(This copernicia fallaensis lives in Fairchild Botanical Garden.)
