This is my post for #freewriters Monday prompt dragon egg hosted by 
This is my dragon fruit plant from 2015.
In this picture, it was about 6 or 7 years old and the frame that my husband built for it to grow on was leaning and about to fall over.
I have always heard that you needed both kinds when growing them, if you planted two reds or just 2 white, you will not get fruit, you need both kinds for them to make a fruit.
I once had an English teacher who said there is an exception to every rule. Dragon fruit is no different. I was at my cousin's house and someone gave him self-pollinating dragon fruit.
I built five of these stands for the dragon fruit and put long pieces of bamboo in a ladder shape on top. There are two red, 2 self-pollinating, and one white. I did not care much for the white ones.
But the red ones made a mighty fine smoothie.
If there were dragons and they laid eggs, I would say this is what a dragon egg would look like.
I have my first blooms so in about a month I should have dragon eggs to eat.
I finished pressure washing the front of the trailer today.
Every time I look at the higher places that I could not get to, it bothers me. I still have the falling problem and when I look up I get the funny feeling that I get right before I fall, so the top did not get done. But it looks better than it did.
