Miniature christmas cactus-do you have a real name for

[echos]

I bought this plant 20 years ago and never bloomed again until this year. I never found another plant like this one since i bought it. Do you know it and do you know the name?

Here some pictures

thanks for helping.

Congratulations on your patience, wow, 20 years!
I believe it may be an Easter cactus rather than the Christmas. Ckeck out Hatiora rosea. This is a very dwarf one with pink flowers.

This is it...that is my plant. I am very excited. Now, let me tell you my whole story. I bought it 20 years ago and gave few leaves to a friend. She ended with two plants and I lost mine when I was away on vacations because the person who was looking after my plants over water it. The pictures are my friend's one. I wish I could find a place where I can buy a full grown one. I am in Canada.

Thank you very much because now with the name it will be easier to find a supplier who carries it.

I read on one site I looked at that it is rare.
Can you not get your friend to spare you a little. Next month is meant to be a good time. See....
