Over time we've acquired a collection of succulents, either given to us
or bought by some of the Nursery staff and propagated here. We know
the names of a lot of them but there are a few which are a mystery. If
anyone can give us their names, we'd be very grateful. I hope this
works because I haven't used this method before!

Yes but we have two varieties. On one the leaf edge is perfectly
smooth and on the other it's wavy. I think the smooth one is Cotyledon
orbiculata but can't seem to find a name or good description of the
wavy edge one. The very narrowest border of red is on each leaf on
both the smooth and the wavy leaves.

Sorry, it was a trick one to photograph. It's the blue leaf and stem
with the yellow flowers at the top of it.

Echeveria of some sort best guess E. glauca v metallica
(if it is then easy from leaf cuttings and almots hardy when dry)

Echeveria hyrbrid

Stapelia Variagata - bit of a weed easy to grow on from cuttings flowers
smell of rotting meat.

Don't know.

Not sure which plant you are asking about. Most of the rosette types
with glaucous leaves are some sort of Echeveria. The thing in the
foreground with flowers might be some form of succulent Senecio.
Hope this helps a bit.

I don't think it's that but can't be certain. When I looked that name
up one source said it's now called E. imbricata which seems to have
rounder leaves than these.

I think Stewart's correct that this is a Cotyledon but the question is which.

That's the one - everyone remarks on the vile smell!

Ah, that might well be it. I'll pursue that idea. Many thanks to you
both and I'm happy to hear further views! ;-)

Certainly does.
