Mystery solved...see below.
by "tofitropic" on National Garden Forums USA

Name: Tofi
From Sumatera, Indonesia
That is a Pandanus fruit (such as P tectorius or related species) stuck on a Barringtonia asiatica. I ve seen people do that for decorative purpose, to intrigue people.

Thanks Sheila ji for beautiful clicks, whatever the outcome. Such things are commonly seen in decorative cacti, thanks God it is not AI generated.

Deffinately not AI.....I saw it when out for a walk and was fascinated.

Makes a colourful image.

I too wasted hours trying to get a correct id!

Thank you for looking.
