On November 29 of 2008, I had posted a story describing a special fruit in Taiwan--A fire-dragon fruit 火龍果. I explained to readers that the dragon fruit, in fact, has its biology and English names. The English name of the dragon fruit is 'red pitaya'; its biology name is hylocereus undatus. It is a species of cactaceae; the fruit contains various kinds of vitamin, proteins, and betacyanin, an antioxidant.
On May 2, 2009 I saw the real plant of the fire-dragon-fruit at the fruit organic farm of Tung-Su. It was just wonderful.
The top photo shows the plant; the middle photo shows the fruit. The third photo shows a guy in Arabian-like head-set. Who is that guy?
