Is that a mature plant, diggety? Hard to tell from the picture but it looks kinda like what happens when an immature plant gets somehow stimulated to bloom. The inflorescence is smaller than it oughta be.

Im not sure what has happened. It was a gift, several plants in a pot. That nub appeared yesterday and I dont know what plant it is supposed to be. I assumed it was a varigated Neo but thats no pin cushion

Yeah, it's a Neo inflorescence, but it's just really small. You see that kind of thing when you Florel a plant with pups on it and the pups bloom too. That's why I asked if it seemed to be a mature plant.
