Hi Florent,

Here we are with my best efforts:

1) You've asked about this bulb before, but I don't know!
2) Crassula nudicaulis
3) The widespread G. depressum
4) Yes, agree with Drimia sp.
5) Yes, Crassula cotyledonis
6) Assuming this is a small young plant, Crassula atropurpurea, but not sure
7) Crassula atropurpurea
8) Not sure, probably G. suave, a bit young
9) Without the flower, this looks just like a Machairophyllum, but they all flower yellow, so I guess it must be a thirsty Cerochlamys pachyphylla with angular leaves - usually they are more rounded and waxy.
10) This does look like it must be A. arachnoides, but the location must be about the NW limit.
11) Braunsia apiculata

Best wishes,
DT

Yes I agree with #11, thought I'd seen it somewhere before. I like Braunsias, :) my B.maximiliani has been flowering merrily for weeks.
Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.

Great Photos! Not the plants I would dare grow. But it is great to see them in their natural context.
