    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and am an avid succulent collector. Most succulents sold in Australia are done so under the generic label 'succulent species'. Can anyone can help identify the attached plants?

    #1 is an Aloe, # 2,3 & 4 are Echeveria, # 5 might be Graptopetalum or Graptoveria...sorry can't be more specific than that.

    Gee...hard to say...but following along the lines Wask has drawn for you:
    yes, 1st looks like an Aloe ~no idea which
    2nd ~if the leaves were longer, I'd say Echeveria 'Violet Queen'-if more green then Echeveria elegans~ but not clear cut to say any for sure
    3rd ~an Echeveria hybrid, REALLY hard to say...you'd have to post pix of what it look like at different times of the year (it changes) & even then, might not be able to pin it down.
    4th ~if more pinky look to it, I'd say xGraptoveria 'Debbi'
    5th ~does have that xGraptoveria look, but can't say which

    Yes, not just in Australia...our plants are sold as "Cacti" or 'Succulents" too. :( Sometimes you get tags with the genus, but often those are incorrect as well.
