    I purchased quite a few succulents from Lowe's and I am puzzled on the names of the plants. I would sure appreciate some help in identifying my plants.

    The fourth one is a jade plant (Crassula), the last a stonecrop (Sedum). Most of the others may be echeverias. The ones with the pointed leaf tips might be something else, maybe even dudleyas.

    Yes the third is Crassula. The others are mostly species of Echeveria.

    The first 3 are Aeonium.
    #1 has variegata in the name-LOL-maybe you could've guessed that! If I had more time, I'd investigate further..but sorry, I don't.
    #3 looks like Aeonium decorum.
    #4 is Crassula ovata (Jade plant, as others have said).
    I believe #5, #7 & #8 photos are Echeveria. I believe I have one like #5, but haven't pinned down the ID on it yet. :)
    #6 is a Sempervivum.
    #9 is Sedum spurium.

    Hope that gives you somewhere to start!

    Thankyou, Rosemarie, this gives me a huge push in the direction I need to go. Any suggestions of sites I can go to that show pictures of succulents to help me identify the plants and recommendations on how to care for each of them. Winter is coming and I'm not sure how I am suppose to change the way I care for them.

    You're very welcome! I'd suggest Googling each of the names & look at several sites as to care for them in your area. There are many sites online with succulents. Some specialize in one genera or another. Many have mis-ID'd plants in their photos. Best to find more than one source for your info. Good luck!

    Cool stuff. I agree with Rosemarie, and will add that #2 may be Aeonium haworthii. I have #5 as well but I don't know what it is either.

    Thankyou for your comments. I've been scouring the internet for possible names for the plants I have and have found a plant call Aeonium Leucoblepharum that looks a lot like #2. I found pictures of Echerveria Desert Lotus or Echerveria Ramilette or Echeveria Derenbergii that all look a lot like my plant #5. By the way, plant #5 is blooming and I will attach a photo.
