Echeverias ?

Hi
I submitted some 6 unidentified plants to the old forum - I've not forgotten reequests for more information but I am still waiting for the flowers to appear!

Meanwhile I hope that you can help me with identifying these 3, two of which have got flower photos!!

#324  I hope that I have correctly identified this one as Graptopetalum paraguayensis.  Would you suggest cutting off the long stems?

#400 Echeveria ??

The third one # 79 Margrit suggested as being either xGraptosedum or xGraptoveria.  This plant was shown recently in our cactus show and the judge suggested that it might be  x Graptoveria "Fred Ives" - which I hope is correct as Fred Ives was one of the four Bradford people who founded the Yorkshire Cactus Society which developed into the B.C.S.S.  and I'm a proud member of the Bradford Branch.  I will submit a flower photo as soon as the plant obliges.

thanks in advance.

Yes, correct, and yes, cut the stem of G. paraguayense and start a new plant.
The third is also xGraptoveria 'Fred Ives' - the crested form.
