If the yellow Dragonfruit you are referring to is the yellow Megalanthus and not the Undatus, it usually pollinates itself. Sometimes smaller younger plants will abort their flowers.

I am not an expert with Dragonfruit but from my limited knowledge, they can crosspollinate.

The Megalanthus usually blooms later in the season when everything else has stopped flowering.
