Variously known as Weingartia or Sulcorebutia, sometimes even Rebutia :wink: , hertusii, crispata, tarabucoensis, patriciae, and probably a few other names, one of my favourite plants.
(For the record I call it Weingartia crispata v. hertusii).
Attached is a picture taken today, 16th January, together with one showing what it looked like last summer.
