Mystery Plant ID
I have some mystery succulents that I've been trying to ID for months. Now that they've grown out some, I figured I would probe the minds of my fellow Greggers and ask what everyone thinks. There are 3 plants up for debate:
1) Echeveria Purple Pearl or a PVN
2) Echeveria Moonglow or Graptoveria A Grimm One
3) ??? Mystery Lidl Succulent, pretty sure it's an Echeveria
I'll post pictures of each plant in the comments. And before anyone says it, yes I know Google Lens exists, but the AI is only as good as the people who coded it. The first one is either a Purple Pearl or a PVN. The pictures with an "e" indicate early, or when I first got it. A "c" indicates a current picture.

@Charli3Plant i recognize the mountain crest gardens labels lol so i just wanna say it helps a lot to go on their website and compare to the ones they have on there. if you search echeveria it'll show the ones that aren't in stock too. comparing to their photos (at least in my experience) makes it a lot easier to find a match than comparing to photos elsewhere. but sometimes all of the photos for a particular plant suck 🤷 might as well call the first a pvn cause like, going off of memory here cause if i go to google the app will reload and i'll lose your post, but the person who created the pvn hybrid distributed several of them that were slightly different so there's several slightly different types of pvns but they're all the same plant. purple pearl is one of those, iirc. so if i'm right about that it's a pvn regardless. third one looks like echeveria hercules (the etiolated growth makes it hard to tell tbh) but there could be some other echeveria i don't know about that looks similar lol. echeverias in particular can be difficult to id sometimes when they're brand new and from a grocery store since so many varieties look extremely similar and grocery store growth can look significantly different from proper conditions growth, SO just know that any id you give it now could very well end up being wrong if the plant has a significant change in appearance down the line
@slayonium Yeah, most of them are from MCG 😂
I've compared Plant 2 to all of their pictures and I swear these plants are just the same species. Barely any difference except for coloring, and even that is questionable.

I agree that plant 1 is an Echeveria PvN. At least it (C) is a dead ringer for mine that I bought 10 years ago as E. PvN.
Plant 2 - all I can wish you is luck. I've got one nearly identical that I've been trying to ID for... 15 years? I bought it at my neighborhood Ace, without a label. Your option of 'Moonglow' I ran across a few days ago, but it was ID'd as a Graptoveria and not Echeveria - same blue-aqua with pink tips coloring, except the flowers were completely different than how mine flowers. And I'd thought Moonglow was going to be it. So that might be another option for ID -- the flowers. If yours has flowered.
Good luck!

Sometimes you just Gotta wait until they mature & bloom to really tell...I've been down this exact rabbit hole before lol

Hmmm, PNV could also be e. Red Skye and the 'Moonglow' could also be an e. 'Tippy' the Next Gardener nursery sells e. Tippy (a hybrid prolly) with rounded leaves like that. And the last one could be an e. 'Orion' - with so many Echeveria + various Hybrids it's hard to say... Plus sooooo many pics online are incorrectly ID'd.
This is one of the only sites I trust for correct identification :https://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?akID=48&aaID=2
👆🏽 I've spent hours on that site and I still get stumped , esp. by immature succulents.
But, time will tell! I'm still waiting to see which one of my Succulents (I've had for over a year) is a Graptopetalum amathystium and which is a pachyphytum Oviferum... I gave up and won't know until they bloom 😂...
Best of luck! 🙏🏽 💚
