# hello! i bought a yellow dragon fruit cactus cutting from FB…

_Posted by vicky \<3 on 2026-08-03_

hello! i bought a yellow dragon fruit cactus cutting from FB marketplace in May, and she's growing really good. i just noticed a few of these small, pinkish spiny growths on some stems. i was wondering if these were the beginning of flower buds or new stem growth?

Looks like flower buds to me. After it flowers it’ll grow new leaves/limbs
