Thanks in advance!

As Charles indicated, the plant in mooseyscountrygarden appears to be an
iceplant, possibly Delosperma cooperi or Lampranthus spectabilis.

The flowers in andyandfrank look like cup flowers, Nierembergia
caerulea. However, the photo is not really close enough to be sure.
Nierembergia has a very fine, ferny leaf; I think I see leaves that are
too large in the photo. These might instead be a form of morning glory,
either Convolvulus tricolor or Ipomoea tricolor (the later reseeding
freely and becoming an invasive pest in the right climate).
