Dragon fruit babies...is this possible?

[MarinFla]

I went outside to check my dragon fruit trellis and train/ tie up some new growth and found these babies growing underneath!!!
I have been tossing the decaying flowers and the small fruits that aborted after not developing into the pot so maybe could it be possible that after they rotted the seeds germinated?? Just amazing to me. This trellis is now approaching 2 years old on Dec 31st and it's doing great. I got 2 dozen fruit off it this fall and they were all well over a pound with the highest brix reading at 18.6 (you have to click on pictures of the babies twice to get it to open to full screen...they are tiny!)

WOW very interesting... maby this aborted fruits have some seeds allready.

YEAH that would be germination  in 6 weeks roughly to what they look like now. The second picture shows a side view of the baby plants. At first I thought they were coming from the roots so I pulled one out to find that the little plants were completely independent!

Yes, dragon fruit are in the cactus family but they are a tropical/sub tropical cactus that prefer more moisture than most other cacti. Her seedlings would probably do better if not kept on the dry side.

seedlings. Those are seedlings. Notice how they have leaves?

I am sure she's realized they are seedlings. No need to repeat yourself.
