Rebutia heliosa might be one of my top 3 cactus. Even though it has spines it is still safe to the touch, almost feels rubbery. This cactus shrinks down during winter time and flowers in spring, putting on a display of BRIGHT orange flowers that nearly covers the entire plant. Don't over water especially in winter! Relatively slow-growing.
