I have 2 Haworthia attenuata plants. Or at least that was the label info given. One I purchased a number of years ago (more than 10), the other was a gift a couple years ago. There is quite a bit of size difference between them. My older one is very low-growing 3 to 4 inches high, the other is rather much taller 6 to 8 inches. The markings are the same as are the blooms. Are they both H attenuata, or is one a cultivar or different species? Thanks for any help with this.
This is my original plant

This is the younger plant

Also, the older plant has sprouted a plantlet on the bloom spike. Is this typical?
