    Hello,

    I have again taken photos of plants on the shore and don't know what I shot...

    There is a blue flower, an orange lichen, and a pink-red flower or maybe succulent. Can anyone identify these?

    Briza maxima? (the last)

    #1 reminds me a lot of Lallemantia canescens, so I'd suggest that it might be a Lallemantia species?

    Thank you all for your answers, solanum dulcamara and briza maxima indeed.
    I'm not sure about the Lallemantia, which seems to be a bigger plant than the one I shot. (about 1-2cm in diameter for the stem with flowers).

    Lichen are hard to identify without a magnifying glass but I would guess that it is similar to the Xanthoria parietina which is usually found near the sea-shore on the Northeast coast of the US.

    Thanks for the info about the lichen! Next time I shot one, I'll try to do a very close macro shot.
