adding to succulent collection

 Four new succulents to add to my collection, which is fast becoming an obsession.  Im a little nervous that if we dont hurry up and get to our rural property my backyard is going to become choc a block with little pots of these things.
If anyone with succulent knowledge is looking at this post, I would love some feedback as to what they are.  The place I bought them only had succulent written on the label, thought I would be satisfied with that, but unfortunately I am finding myself trawling the internet with my little "succulent" on my lap searching for answers.

Echeveria?
 Aeonium domestica variagata
 Echeveria?
 Aloe dorian black?
Dad's orchid - was repotted last year, this year very dissapointing, only produced one miserly flower and I had to get under the plant to take the shot, hence the roof in the background.  When it eventually does decide to flower it will be beautiful as its such a pretty colour.

  1. Your little succulents look lovely but I have no more idea than you do on their names. The Orchid looks beautiful even if it is one lonely flower.

  2. Hi Becc. I saw your comment on berniesgarden and thought I'd come over and take a look at your blog. I actually quite like your orchid photo, very artistic and such a pretty little thing.

  3. Hi! The first succulent is an echeveria. But I don't know the exact name. The second one I think is Aeonium percarneum 'Kiwi'. The 3rd one does look like an echeveria. And I think you are correct on the aloe! Really nice one matter of fact.

  4. No succulent knowledge here. I have a few but have never tried to identify them. They are great low maintenance plants. I like the shot of the roof in the background. Cool shot.

  5. I cannot help you with the name but I too am getting interested in succlents. I have a big plan for some on the front porch next year. I have two waiting for the project but have no idea their names. Just thought they were neat looking and I picked them up... LOL...

  6. I love succulents!! Are they going to go into pots or in the garden?

  7. They all are pretty! How lucky you are to be able to have succulents outdoors all year around! I need to bring mine inside for the winter. And they don't like our dry air and artificial light.
