I can't remember where I got one of my dragonfruit from.It is small and sweet tasting and I presume a yellow x red.It is fairly distinctive and does the variety or look ring any bells with anyone?
Thanks guys the skin is dull orange when ripe.Rannman that one does look similar and mine has no spines.

About 1cm long, very fine and hard to see unless you are looking for them(on young fruit). Pretty fragile and easy to accidentally knock off. Plant growth looks almost identical. Haven't seen a ripe fruit yet but will soon so will post a pic when it happens. Supposed to be a small but tasty fruit.
Did I ever send any up? Looks just like the one I have from red fox. They didn't label it Aztec gem back when I got it, but it looks the same. Rixford has just had its first flowering. Hope it sets.
The only picture I could find of Pink Panther was on Leo Manuel' s yard tour 10/26/12, on this forum. Only shows the outside of the fruit and a little bit of plant growth attached to the fruit. The fruit is covered by numerous thorns. Very hard to find pictures of this particular variety. Maybe the Aztec Gem and the Red Fox Pink are the seedlings of Pink Panther rather than cutting grown plants from the original Pink Panther, since I assume they are both from Red Fox in Nanango and have similar but not identical features. As far as I am aware the Pink Diamond variety grown by Tamborine dragonfruit farm is a seedling from an original Pink Panther fruit. I haven't seen any spines on it but the fruits are pretty impressive in size and colour.
This is where stuff gets confusing. I have 4 different varieties that exhibit flat, Epi style growth but my Pink Panther is all thick, three sided growth. Flat growth on Sugardragon, Purple Haze, Cosmic Charlie and Halleys Comet. All visibly different plants and all purchased from a very reliable grower .
