When it comes to cacti and its flowers, everyone is familiar with it, but have you ever witnessed a cactus fruit?
On November 7, journalists on vacation in Hainan and relatives and friends who had been living here for some time were driving to the beach when they spotted a cactus with yellow flowers on a side road.
"Have you ever seen a cactus fruit?" Relatives of the same group asked casually as they stopped.
To be honest, I have lived for more than 50 years, I have seen cacti blossom, and I have never seen the fruit of cactus.
During the conversation, the reporter was the first to get out of the car, trotted to the edge of the ground, and took a picture of the mobile phone on the cactus with yellow flowers and red fruits. Also in the car were two 70-year-old people who came to Hainan for the first time, who also got out of the car with great interest to watch.
"It's not ripe yet, and it will be available on the market in a few days!" Relatives introduced.
"Can you still eat?" What does it taste like? The reporter asked.
"There are black seeds in the red flesh and it tastes a bit like dragon fruit."
Listening to the introduction of relatives, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the fruit.
"Don't touch it, there are thorns in the cactus fruit, be careful to tie your hands." There are thorns on the cactus, and there are thorns on the fruit.
Back in the car and sat down, just put the handle on the skirt, I felt a tingling pain, raised my hand to take a closer look, and there were several cactus thorns on my fingers...
