I got these little guys from the floor in the supermarket and propagated them! :D

this one's really cute.

this one looked like a waxy, curly Crassula Ovata.

this one is looking dehydrated, just today have I seen root formation.

Awesome find! Not sure if you were looking for an ID on these or not... but if so I do believe that #1 is Crassula perforata. It's really hard to tell with #2 because the shot doesn't show the entire leaf... but based on your description I would guess it might be something like Crassula 'Blue Wave'...

I agree with mw, #1 is Crassula perforata.

Do you have a picture of the whole leaf for #2? That would help.

#3 is Portulacaria afra variegata

I was indeed looking for an ID. I will get a pic of the leaf now, it's pretty battered so doesn't look like original one, it's definitely a crassula hybrid of some sort, because it's exactly the same as my Crassula Ovata but rather blue, waxy and has wavy leaves. When I say waxy I mean like an Echeveria.
