Photo 19. We well-known the development of plants chimeras as a disturbance of synthesizing of chlorophylle by separate tissues of a stalk (or leaves), as a result of which leaves (or a stalks) become variegated. But difference of tissues can be not only on genes of synthesizing chlorophylle, but also on any other genes, for example on colouring of lobes, as for Rebutia on this photo (link).
Photo 20. Astrophytum myriostigma cv. Lotusland also demonstrates, that for it "not all is clean" from the point of chimeras of its tissues. In this case main stalk looks quite usually, but have a not usually for Astrophytums branching (link).
