This is Sigmund, as in Sigmund and the Sea Monsters - you can see the resemblance. Sigmund started off with a flower AND a miniature present on its head in 2021. He started off 2022 in a pot with no drainage that was then accidentally exposed to torrential rain. Here he is. I’m still not 100% on the species, but here he is.
Do you know what those white specs are? I have a cactus that gets them once in a while. I took an alcohol q-tip to mine. I was worried they could be the start of something. It’s doing fine now.
