Planning of getting a couple of Haworthias but the seller doesn't know the ID's. Here they are:
I've read Haworthias are promiscuous plants and easily hybridize (haha) but I'm hoping these are pure breeds or at least identifiable hybrids

Re: Haworthia ID help
After scouring the net, trying to match pictures upon pictures of Haworthias and trying to inquire from people, I've finally identified these Haworthias (at least at the species level). The first one is Haworthia cooperi and the second one is Haworthia retusa. According to one Haworthia expert who kindly replied to my email, identifying Haworthias is not easy especially without locality information.

Re: Haworthia ID help
The second one looks like a normal retusa, but the first one looks a bit strange - I like it, though!

The first one is a form of H. cooperi
or a H. cooperi x maughanii
which look similar

Thanks for the inputs. Got the plants but the one I got isn't the exact plant in the pic.
Here's a close-up shot of the plant I got (the H. cooperi looking one)
