Go me!
Here's a couple of group pictures of my hoard... ID's welcome!

Cheers

Large aloe to the left aloe variegata
Eceheveria in the middle is perle von nurnberg
Happy growing!

Crassula ovata Gollum ---> yup!
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ---> absolutely, it gives me white flowers every year
Crassula falcata ---> which one?
Echeveria pulidonis ---> I had thought Echeveria rondo but you're definitely right!
Crassula exilis ---> which one? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I had a suspicion of Peperomia ferreyrae :roll:

Here's what I THOUGHT I had identified up to now:
Aeonium arboreum var. Holochrysum
Cotyledon tormentosa
Pachypodium lamerei (???)
Peperomia ferreyrae
Echeveria rondo ---> pulidonis
Echeveria perle von Nurnberg (yay!)
Gollum Crassula ovata Gollum (yay!)

What are your thoughts?

Crassula falcata-next to aloe variegata(could be wrong,may carpobrotus-need better look)
Crassula exilis between gollum and echeveria pulidonis ,rondo is cultivar name. Need better look of it, other echeveria near pullidonis, plant between suspected falcata and near perle von nunberg,
Ps have most of these.

Tell you what,
I will take some better individual pictures tomorrow, I would love to know what I have!
Also, if you see anything you like I can try to get cuttings and see if they grow roots if I ask nicely?

Dont need individual pictures of evry plant, just a closeup of ones we cant id for certain.
The devil is in the details after all.
Cant tell one cactus from another? Spine length.
Cant tell one parodia from another? Spine color.
Cant tell if its aeonium or echeveria? Leaf thickness.
Cant tell sedum from grapotpetalum? Flower size.
Thats how you get an ID.

This is the one I think is a Peperomia...
I'll get to work with the other ones tomorrow!
Cheers for all the IDs :)

Here's a close-up of one of the mystery plants (I think).
Ready, steady?
Go!

PS would you mind telling me how/why you get to your conclusions? At the moment I just google pictures of "succulents with round leaves" and just go through them until I see something that matches my picture... :roll:

I don't think it's a giant just the normal.
Here's a picture of mine. Definitely more than 10cm

You are absolutely spot on, aside from the fact mine has a shorter stem they could be twins!
Looks like I'm going to have to make some space for this one...
