The first two pics labeled Hawarthia spp. The last l think is an Agave

Third plant looks like Agave ocahui maybe, which is one of the parents of your Blue Glow.

Could be, Baja. The tips of the leaves on mine are a lot longer.

Yeah, those terminal spines are definitely not a match, so cancel that.

I think it is Agave pelona. The plant in the picture is a little more open than mine, but I am sure the climate has something to do with that.

I have the same plant in the first two pictures that also came to me as Haworthia species. Not sure I completely buy that, but I have never bothered really looking into it.

Maybe it is time....

A quick search did not turn up any obvious Haworthia candidates, but a Gasteraloe or Gasterhaworthia seems very possible. The minuscule teeth might point to an Aloe, but...

I attach a picture of mine for comparison. It is a little sun starved as the little planter box it is in is deep under my patio.

And here is an earlier picture when it was less sun starved:

I think it is some kind of Gasteraloe.

I was thinking a Gasteraloe. It definitely has the markings of a Gasteria and the thick leaves of an Aloe. It looks a lot like yours mcvansoest.

Just realized I had the picture of the Agave, also. I think it is A. pelona. Thanks everyone.
