Welcome! to the site, Lori!

This lovely flowering Echeveria is not 'Dondo' (pale glaucous green to blue-green; flowers a more golden to orange color and a different shape). Compare to pics on this page

Echeveria 'Dondo'

It looks like a hybrid of Echeveria pulidonis to me, based on the color and the red margins and the shape of the yellow flowers. Pictures of that species here:

Echeveria (Echeveria pulidonis)

For now I will be moving the image to the genus entry for Echeveria, pending a final call on what exactly to call it.

Paging @Castello_decorum for expert advice here. Smiling

If anyone has input on the ID question, please speak up.

Thank You!

Thank you. Since I have a really hard time telling the species from its various unnamed hybrids, I will leave the image in the genus entry. By all means please speak up if you disagree with this decision.
