1) is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
2) possibly a Haworthia
3) an Aloe, might be A. mitriformis
4) an Opuntia
5) Kalanchoe beharensis

Thank you very much Diane. I appreciate your help.
Re: Some ID help please?
I've spent a lot of time today looking up the suggestions i was given, and i have a few questions. (No.1) I have K. blossfeldiana, but this one is different? Does anyone else have a suggestion? Could it be longiflora?
Also, (No.4), i can'f find an Optunia with cylindrical stems?
The rest, i'm totally lost!

I'm a bit stupid! Just looked through a Genus of the month for Optunias, and saw many different varieties.kirstyb wrote:I've spent a lot of time today looking up the suggestions i was given, and i have a few questions.

Hi,
I think the first one is Kalanchoe fedschenkoi rather than blossfeldiana, but I may be wrong.

Re: Some ID help please?
I agree with Topsy, the first one is Kalanchoe fedschenkoi. Could the second be an Aloe? There are so many Aloes and this one is so cramped it is difficult to see what it is but you can see teeth at the ends of the leaves.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
Re: Some ID help please?

Re: Some ID help please?
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.
