Hello All,
The following pictures are from on of my Dragon Fruit plants that is suffering an Identity Crisis. It couldn't decide whether it wanted another branch or a flower. This is the strangest thing I have ever come across with growing Dragon Fruit.
At first the new grow was 100% flower and looked as such. For that reason, there was nothing unusual at that time so I did not take a picture.
However, as the "Flower" continued to grow, it began to change back into a "Branch".
You can see from the lower portion of the "Branch", that there are what appears to be "Sepals" which should only be growing on "Flowers", but are present on the "Branch" (They are the surviving remnants when it was growing first as a "Flower")
It appears as though the Branch/Flower at this point had transformed from "Flower" back into "Branch", as evidenced by the presence of thorns where once were "Sepals", and then as you follow the progression, back into a "Flower"
Then as you can see from the Pictures, it began changing back into a "Flower"
