Question about 'red' dragon fruit.

I planted this in June 2010. This week, I saw flower buds for the 1st time. According to the label, Hylocereus polyrhizus does NOT need a pollinator. Does that mean I don't have to do anything, and these flowers will become fruits on their own? How does this "red" variety taste? I've never had one to eat.

On a related note, when you guys hand pollinate, do you take pollens from anthers in different flowers and stick them on stigmas from different flowers?

When I hand pollinated my "white" Vietnamese a few nights ago, I took the pollens from the same flowers and rubbed them on the stigma of the same flower. Not sure it that will do the job.
