Echeveria aff x Metallica, but the color of the flowers is not quite right: to much warm orange in it. Look at http://www.cactuspro.com to compare. greets Harry

This looks like Echeveria 'Alfred Graf' to me (spelling: Graff is used as well), which has a kink or bend part way down the leaf. Pix of the plant (not flowers though) can be found in the book, Echeveria Cultivars.

Hi rosemarie,
I looked for "Alfred graf" and could not find alot of info or pics,I did see one that was simular but no flowers as you said.
Im convinced it is a dudleya cymosa now as I found a web site this mourning with lots of pics and info.
The flowers are an exact match in some of them,
and the plants look more or less like mine did when I first bought it,grown hard.
I have been pampering it a little :)
