Re: Some ID help please?
I think the first one is Kalanchoe serrata.

I have a picture with the flowers :-)spinesandrosettes wrote:I'm a light-weight when it comes to Cacti, but I would say that is one of the many mammillaria species out there, which one I couldn't say.
Your third photo as well as the possible A. mitriformis mentioned, could also be the hybrid A. Nobilis, very commonly available, and probably most likely Aloe brevifolia. Nobilis is a slightly darker green, the light blue-green of your plant reminds me more of brevifolia.
Here's a recent pic of one of mine for you to compare
The best helper to identify more conclusively are the flowers.

Re: Some ID help please?
The flowers make it rather conclusive for me. I would have to say that is Aloe X Nobilis. They are not a good match for either brevifolia or mitriformis. Also, Nobilis has been a reliable June to July bloomer for me, for years.
Here's one cluster currently in bloom.
Better close up shot of flowers
