Coryphantha elephantidens, presumably? I had a rather more toothy one many years (bleuggh, decades) ago.

Reddit has what must be the same plant a little while earlier.

Here's a better set of pictures on an odd webpage (Montenegro? Japan? Can't right-click or copy text?):

That's a good link Pat. Some of these new cultivars/creations are spectacular, very unique.
after seeing this image I found a load of similar fascinating plants on Pinterest. I've heard that one of the methods of creating such plants is iradiating seeds.

When I was a child I put a non-succulent Euphorbia cyparissias in front of an ancient luminous alarm clock. The stem closest to the clock started growing in a tight spiral and always did afterwards. I should have taken cuttings and made my fortune.

Assuming you slept next to your alarm clock that is worrying!

It doesn't seem to have any areoles so where does the flower come from?
