For $12 I will sell you a DF cutting with the same odds of getting blue skinned fruit as the EBAY one which is zero.

The purple blue in the photo of cosmic blue seems off. It looks Photoshopped.

The orange dragonfruit picture is actually of 'Frankies Red' and unless I can see the 'purple flower' in person, I would call bullsh#t! The blue one is for people who shop on eBay!
You'll also notice that the seller has a variety of Nopale's Cactus with the name 'Cosmic Blue' , with bright pink and yellow blooms! Incredible imagination!

Both are fake. Yes, Frankie's Red fruit and a couple of epi flowers with other dragonfruit pics.
