@ChosenTejocote First off You need to carefully remove that pink plastic flower! It doesn’t belong there! A Mexican Pincushion Cactus (genus Mammillaria) looks like a small, round or cylindrical plant densely covered in sharp spines, resembling a pincushion, with clusters of tiny, colorful flowers (white, pink, yellow, red) forming a ring around its top. They often grow in clumps, feature woolly tufts between their spiny "tubercles," and produce small red or purple berries. When they bloom the flowers are small and arranged like a crown on top of the cactus, they don’t produce just one single flower Growers glue those plastic flowers on top of the cactus because people tend to think that it’s real and looks cute, and to get people to buy the cactus.
So is it a Mexican pin cushion or no?
Cause to me it didn't look like the picture of one
And thanks, maybe that flower is plastic idk I didn't touch it lol
