OK, so it's a pup ...

... but it's weird. It has at least three or four growing points.

Strange indeed! It would be nice to see how this develops!

Seems like they're in a tight squeeze!
Yeah, it would be nice to see how this develops, it looks like it's going to be quite interesting!

Are you sure there isn't a small nuclear-waste dump under your greenhouse, with this and your freaky P. bonnieae.

And I think I remember you had a masochistic Echinocereus as well? Might want to get your Geiger-counter out.

Cool plant though!

Sow enough seed and sooner or later strange things will show up.

Here's Lumpy the dichotomous Thelocactus bicolor:

And Stumpy, the Echinocereus dasyacanthus with determinate growth that needs to start a new pup each year:

And the freaky Lithops with what amounts to monstrose growth:

Oh my! Quite weird but also pretty IMO.

Plants don't conform to man made rules. I have a Pseudolobivia that is branching dichotomously too. In the past I had a Mammillaria wildii that offsetted from the areole at the tubercle ends as well as the axils. Surprising how many exceptions can be found to so called "golden rules".

I thought rules are made to be broken.

Or is it that way only here in places of formef Yugoslavia???

New pot, bit more room, and lifted slightly for a better view. Might be multiple pups but still a but of a crazy carbuncle. Also note the rivers of nectar.
