Thanks a lot, traveler11! Its name "Christmas cactus" makes sense indeed, even if it does not prick...

I'd like to add something : thanks to the rapid and kind answer by traveler11, it was enough to open Wikipedia  to find all useful details about the flower. So, my wife joins her thanks.

And thanks to the generous sun of this first winter day, one of the flowers has opened wider : here is the image I just took, that also shows the buttons surging at the end of blades.

...And this morning, the Christmas cactus flower is totally open, with its "beard" out.

From garden to Christmas table decoration. My wife's good idea. I took the photos at 24 hours interval.

Except here in Algarve, South Portugal, dear Lex Sandro. On this first noon of the new year, we have blue sky and the temperature reaches 17º (yes, seventeen degrees centigrade). Ik wens U het best - voor U en uw Leica(s) - in 2019, zelfs in het kou dat U moet nu lijden om in Utrecht.

Some plants and flowers in our garden, neither my wife or I could identify.

And let's add a kind of the yellow "pine", whose numerous "flowers" (close-up) are each about 10/12 mm in diameter.

I adore close-ups, even from common flowers.
