What are those lovely dark red ones, Maezy? Are they sempervivums of some sort?

Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum 'Schwarzkof'
Gattina, they usuall grow well and survive our winters, but due to very cold & snow of last 2 winters lost loads. They are striking and you can just cut off side stalks stick in gravelly soil and instant new plant!

Thank you so much for the id, Maezy - we get pretty cold winters here, too, usually, but they certainly look worth a try - such a gorgeous colour, and they look like the sort of plant that would not be put off by a lot of hot, dry sunshine......
