Maybe someone here can help me out on an ID for this little cacti I've had for a while, I picked it up at a cacti nursery nearby for $2, thought it looked interesting. It's a really cool cacti, it flowers alot, and seems to be doing pretty healthy on my windowsill, it even grew a little pup not too long ago. I'm pretty sure its not related to peyote or anything, but it could be....anyone have any ideas on species?

Mine seems to almost constantly be producing buds, like right after one dead flower will fall off, a new bud will already be growing. I wish they stayed open longer.
