Rebutia heliosa one of two plants I grew from seed some 20 years ago. This one went cristate and the other normal growth:-

That's lovely, Diane. Truly 'monstrous' yet beguiling. Is it my imagination or are there more cristate and montrous plants around these days. They used to be somewhat of a rareity, I thought.
