M. spinosissima or no?

Hi folks; the app is giving me fits (NOT A GOLDEN BARREL CACTUS, GREG, sheesh), so I turn to the humans -- what's Leathia's deal, do you suppose? Non-silky, non-spiraling (so far?) spines, deep pink flowers (double row of pointed petals) below crown, bit of a redhead, stands maybe 3cm tall -- any theories?

Your info card says NW light- usually cacti need something much stronger like a south window or a grow light. Not to mention, they’re suuuper slow growers.
Yeah, we certainly have our adventures with no southern-facing windows. (Though that may well be only thing keeping the Opuntia stricta from literally pynching through the ceiling. An aggressive grower, that one.)
