Dragon Fruits blooming tonight !!

I've grown these two bigger ones for 8 or 9 years, and for the past 5 or 6, we get 3-4 fruit a year. In East TN. My son built wooden cages for them on wheels, and we just wheel them in over the winter.
They aren't fully open yet in this picture. I had a video but you can't post videos right ?

You should be able to post videos. Probably have to upload to a hosting site like YouTube first and then copy link here. Thats how some other forums work and I know coming from YouTube works here.
 
Once our children matriculated and we were able to transform our back yard from sports equipment, dragon fruit was one of our first selections. Mesh bags are used to protect from animals. If interested, I have about 30 varieties from which to select.
