Amazing!
This is Uncle B’s Cereus Peruvianus, also known as the Peruvian Apple Cactus or Night Blooming Cactus. He bought it in the Eighties. Then it broke in half and he repotted it. This is the top half, which will very soon have grown too big for the greenhouse (then what he’s going to do, I have no idea).
And in all those forty years, this is the very first time it’s flowered. He’s so excited.
I mean, I guess that’s a flower bud. The Wikipedia article says it both flowers and fruits, and that doesn’t look like the fruit.
Alternatively, it might be a tiny pod person.
