This works really well. I like the dominant flowers in the foreground and it is nice to let my eye then wander back to the nice coastal scene. I can't help with the ID.
I like this a lot! Hard to compose these since you have to get so low. Would of been nice to catch some more blue water on top of the white rock just above the succulent.
Have an old view I shot with the D70 but I like your comp better. Shows the ruggedness. http://sieren.smugmug.com/Other/Stock-Photography/1208028_w3p8z/1/53307517_L8eBo/Medium
Good composition. I like the relationship of the plant to the setting. Like Steve, I like the low point of view. The Plant is in the genus Dudleya (which is in the Stonecrop or Crassulaceae plant family) but I can't tell the species without more plant details.

The plant looks like a variety of Stonecrop, which is a succulent.
