    Hello everyone!

    I hope you guys can help me out. I have been identifying a large number of my succulents by searching online, and I have succeeded with most of them, but so far I haven't been able to identify these.
    Some of them came from garden centers without a name tag, some I've scooped up out of my parents' garden, and some have been gifts.

    It would be nice if anyone knew what they were!

    The 6th and 7th pic are the same plant, I wanted to show the tiny thorns on the lower green leaves. I'm thinking it's some sort of Haworthia?
    With this plant I am also wondering if the reddish brown color is healthy or not. I got it from the previous owner of my house, and the plant had always been inside where it was green. At some point it was placed outside and started to grow like mad, but also with the tips of the plants turning red. It has been in full sun.

    The 8th and 9th pic are obviously also the same plant. On some leaves it has some spikes on the upper side. The spikes are very hard and prickly.
    I think it might be Aloe aculeata, but I'm not entirely sure.. Looks like Aloe feror and Aloe reitzii as well, if I have to go on the pictures I found.

    Could #8 and #9 possibly be Aloe Ferox? I have this plant and although it doesn't look exactly like mine yours looks older than mine, mines only really a baby. They do have the red spikes in common though. :)

    Thanks guys, this is very helpful!

    And yep, the aloë could be the ferox (I mistyped it as 'feror' in my post, oops) but it looks like aculeata as well... still not sure!

    Nice image of the blooming sedum, I hope mine will someday :)

    I agree with all of Lila's ID's-as well as all in parentheses--with the addition of Aloe aculeata for the last. :D
