It's alive

But what is it?

I thought I had killed it, or at least, put it in a state of suspended animation. It hadn't bloomed in probably a year, then one day I noticed its spines turning pinkish, and soon long, dark purple flower-like protrusions emerged!

About a week later the flowers wilted and the spines returned to green, but soon the same amazing thing happened on the other side of the plant.

I think it's gone back into remission, hibernation, suspended animation, whatever. It's a tiny plant, so whatever body snatcher emerges will probably become a new chase toy for Rocky :)
