Ofm, they look like they might be new offsets. Time will tell. I vote for new offsets.

They look like blooms but wait a little longer. That's when I would dig a little into the center with my fingers and look to see if the leaves are just continuing inward (maybe an offset) or if there's a firm round bloom head.

I vote for offsets too (only because that's what I want :P), but if it's blooms that means 3 more snips and the cycle continues!

Hey, I vote for offsets too and a few times I got offsets and blooms! Fingers crossed for you.

So often when I do this "bloom lopping" thing the offsets create twins or crests! Love that part of this!!!
Here are a couple examples that I took today!
Packardian - shown before but here is a new photo

Internet problems, so not able to upload anything currently

here is the photo showing Packardian stem...I love this twin tree looking semp!!

Gazelle crested or triplets (can't tell yet)

Hey, you haven't been spraying with Configure, have you Greg?

No need - says Dr Frankencolucci evil grin!

Your 'Gazelle' looks to be triplets, if you look at the center of the rosettes they appear normal, happy and healthy.
Love your semp tree.

Gazelle is a beauty.

it will get some great colors later in the fall!!

Very cool Greg.
I wonder how tall that "tree" will get.

the rosettes (there are at least 2 of them) are beginning to get roots near the base of the stem, so I'm thinking the stem will die back once rains begin here, and I'll plant the rosettes then! Just a guess based on what I've seen happen with other's on ATP
