Here I am Cliff and Greg. Thanks for the call out Greg. Thumbs up

Cliff, Greg is correct. The offsets are clones of the mother rosette. The offsets may not look identical to the hen when young, but will when mature. But the main characteristics would still be there. Like the fuzzyness, or cilia along the leaves and tip of leaves.

Check closely to see if the stolon is attached to the rosette. Greg could be right in thinking that a stray plant got mixed in. It does happen on occasion.
Also watch to see if they end up developing the same characteristics of the mature rosette in the next few months.
It sure does look like a different semp though. I am seeing two offsets with watermarks that don't look at all like the mature rosettes, no fuzziness and not cilia lining the leaves.
