Pollinating the dragon fruit

Bernice have a dragon fruit farm in Nanango and she have one of the variety of plant she still need to pollinate one by one by hand. Its usually hapend one night in the end of December and start of January (the middle of summer in Australia. ) the air is ful of perfume and its so magical almost expecting to see a fairy flying by.
So interesting. Does it take a long time to pollinate them? Wonderful capture!

@allisonraposa Bernice using a small paint brush and its few second each flower, I think it was around an hour, this days she got different type of Dragon fruit plant that do it themselves. But its still lovely to be there at night as its also very warm night as its the middle of Summer here in OZ.
