Purple and Spiky Bulba need real names - please help

[BennieAnTheJets]

Just got these two at Costco today - I think they are real (i.e. not modified artificially) but so unusual...

Unfortunately no name tags, so I named them Purple and Spiky Bulba after the sea creature in Men in Black

Spiky Bulba has a flower stem growing but it may not make it after the shock to the plant from being brought here - if it does make it, we could take a look at the flower to help ID it. The "spikes" are not hard but rather rubbery.

Would you be able to help with a proper ID on one or both of them please?

The leaf shape looks a bit off. Could be ‘Purple pearl’ or one of the ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ hybrids

Thank you so much, bbrav and teo!!

Close enough for me!

So good to know what they are. Thanks again.

What do you mean?
Like spray-painted?

Yes. Spray painted or watered with dye or something like that. I don't think these two are modified like that but you never know until you grow them out.
