First is the aloe type plant and the second i have no idea at all. I bought the first at walmart and the second volunteered to grow from who knows where.
Looks like a Gasteria or Gasteria x Aloe to me. The second plant makes me think maybe some kind of Kalanchoe, but I'm really uncertain on that. Side note: This is very exciting for me -- I got to answer something before Saltcedar did!
I picked up a plant of the first one at the local grocery. It was unlabelled and I did not know what it was until now. I did an image search for Gasteria. It looks like Gasteria 'Little Warty'.
Thanx to both of you i'm no longer calling it the aloe thing. = P I found this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gasteria-Gr...ultDomain_0&hash=item588f4f189e#ht_3356wt_952 Could this be the type of Gasteria i have? All the different hybrids give me a headache! As to the second plant, i have a tone of different Kalanchoe and don't think it is (although there are a TON out there....).
'Green Ice' is possible (and the picture on eBay definitely looks like your plant), though the one I have that was labeled 'Green Ice' is a lot lighter and more uniform in color. Mine wasn't necessarily identified correctly, though, so I really don't know. They're all essentially the same in terms of care.
Gasteria 'Green Ice' is as close as you are likley to get to a name that will show up in a search. If it is a registered hybrid or cv., it will reproduce reliably - if not, there will be a lot of variability from one plant to another found in the marketplace.
