The last two pictures are of Greenovias or Greenovia hybrids. Very close kin to Aeoniums. Hope that was helpful.

Wow Mike! That was very helpful! Do you think the D. Brittoni was planted there? It seems so natural, but I'm surmising that one is not a native. Do you think D. Brittonii is difficult to grow in one's garden? I have found Dudleyas a bit finicky for me.
Well, with out knowing it, I've been a Greenovia fan! I thought Greenovias were ground cover only; I did not realize they can stalk like that! Don't you think these look like the villain in "Little Shop of Horrors"?
Cotyledon Macrantha is pretty common around these parts. What is throwing me off is the growing pattern of this one. But I guess you're probably right. Its elongation is probably due to its growing conditions. One of the things that has fascinated me about succulents is the variability that can be found within a single species...
Take care, and thank you for taking the time to supply the information!
By the way, how'd you know my name!? (I probably posted it elsewhere and forgot... LOL)
