Who am I?

I was a stowaway loose head in a pot of unrelated Conos, and I have been multiplying steadily for the past year or two. Just recently, I decided to dazzle my host with a stupendous bouquet, as shown below (in a 2" pot). Who am I?

I think that you are probably Conophytum uviforme.

Maybe now that you have a name, you can show more gratitude!

Very similar to my C. uviforme.

I think you are a sample of Cono saxetanum. That rich diet of pine needles(?) has plumped you up!
Cono uviforme has much longer petals?
Best wishes,

Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, I seem to have a very close haircut indeed. No idea if petal length is that variable within a species (or what passes for a species in Conos) or not...
My neighbor is a C. rostratum, and that one has a positively gargantuan flower in comparison.
