What wonderful colours. I wonder what it tastes like ?

Thanks all, very kind. Sylvia it looks a bit horrible inside but a bit like sago with black bits in I think. Not sure of the taste, only seen photos.

Wow! I could pick this up off the page but having never eaten dragon fruit I wouldn't know what to with it after that.

You definitely are a master of floral paintings, Carole! The complimentary colours of this painting are striking especially when combined with the structure of the fruit.
