Life is "mind over matter". If I d
JB--I have sporadic blooms on some of my CC's. Two or three.
I am sure it has to do with location, location--light--care...etc.
I just do not have the right environment, such as a GH, a Sun Room, etc to make these thrive.
They are also getting old--and not looking so fresh any more.

I think back on the beautiful photos I took of all of them2-yrs. ago--but they have now been
3-4 years in the same pots. Not sure if re-potting would help. Rooting healthy sections may be best.
I was going to take cuttings of them all--but the lack of space and proper light just is not available.
I also procrastinated away weeks and months--and never did it.

Here are a couple blooms from a couple CC's you have given me. Sad looking as they are.....

1--Peaches and Cream
2--Twilight tangerine
3--Salmon--this really did not do anything this year!
4--one bloom at a time---my true Christmas cactus.
