I have one with hot pink flowers, except this year it didn't bloom at all
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I know with Christmas cactus they
have to have cool temperatures to form buds, and mine does fine since
we never close our back window unless it's freezing out.  But I have no
idea what to do with my easter cactus.

That might be what it is, since I've gotten practically no indoor gardening
mail for the last month or so.  Since I only have a few containers outside,
I'm always busy with my houseplants.  I had a great time last night--I
stayed up until almost midnight potting up a bunch of African violet leaves
that a very generous member of the gesneriad list sent me.  And then
I went to bed and had nightmares that I'd lost all the labels and couldn't
remember what any of them were. :-)
