It is rather difficult to tell from photographs but I can take a stab at identification in case no one else supplies anything more definitive. The first on the left a rosetted plant is from the Crassulaceae family. This is out of my area of expertise. However it is perhaps an Echeveria sp or hybrid. These are good beginner's plants.
Second from the left is Lapidaria margaretae, the next plant is a Conophytum sp. perhaps francoiseae, but one would need flowers and more detail to be sure. The last plant on the right is Tanquana prismatica. This can be a challenging species to grow in inexperienced hands. All these plants are mesembs as they are commonly known and are now placed in the Aizoaceae family. These are not beginners plants. There is a Yahoo forum devoted to Mesembs where much information may be obtained. A google search will help. Cheers Didge.
