Possibly Delight.
It has subtle pink hue within the white flesh.

Was thus grown by you or store bought?

Thanks Wslau.

@Ctmiami. It's home grown. I bought a cut online 3 years ago. I bought a American Beauty, but I think they sent me a wrong one because this doesn't look like an American Beauty.
Thanks

You're right, definitely not American Beauty. They hybridize so easily it's hard to say what it is. So did you pollinate it yourself? Do you only have this one plant? I'm trying to figure out if it's self-fertile/pollinating.

eBay?   It is not uncommon for some eBay sellers to sell bogus Dragon Fruit cuttings.

@fyliu:    Yes I have to pollinate it my myself. Sometime, I pollinated with different flowers on the same plants, and other time with flower from a different variety. Fruits were formed in both situations.
@ricshaw:   I bought it from http://www.floridahillnursery.com.  Only $9.99 per cut.

Thanks,
Tuan

Sounds like it is self fertile.

Is this growing in Virginia outdoors or in a protected location like a green house?
