Mystery flower

I have no idea what kind of plant this is. I bought it at the Upper Jay library, where there are always plants for sale for $2 or $3--one of the trustees grows them at home and brings them in to raise money for the library. This is some kind of spiky thing that's vaguely attractive and blooms like this. The blossoms are strangely complex and colorful for such a plain looking plant. The leaves of the plant are not soft, and it hurts to touch it. I transplanted it this fall and here's how it rewarded me.
