Help with flower and plants identification

Hello all,

I have a section of my photo website dedicated to nature shots, including plants. I try my best to provide identification, but sometimes I just don't know what I've shot... So if you experts can correct my mistakes, I'd be very grateful...

Recently I added these "pink flowers" (now that's a precise label, I know) : http://sophie-g.net/photo/nature/fleursRoses01.htm

Generally, the plant and flowers photos are here :

First two plants are

Flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum)
Flowering quince (Chaenomeles)

 

Thanks !

 

Some very nice photographs on your site. I really like the snow images.

 

Thanks for your appreciation!

I have just added more pictures, a series of photos of insects on a shrub with blue flowers. I is pretty common around here, but I couldn't find what the name of the shrub was...

The other kind of flower I can't name lives on the rocks of the cliffs around here, the flowers are very small and pretty :

the first one blue flowers is a ceanothus or california lilac native to california but in the buckthorn family the rhamnaceae not the lilacs

the second is a saxifraga of some sort I think

 

Thanks !

Can anyone give me more info about the saxifrage ?

I have also added this 'cactus' flower, I really like how it sends flowers out on long stems, let me know if you can tell me the name of the plant :

The "Saxifraga" is a Sedum; Sedum anglicum is a possibility, but you should check a local flora.

 

The cactus flower pic is of a Haworthia (not a cactus, but yes, a succulent). I would need to see a closer pic of the plant to get you closer to an proper ID on it.

Yes, the Roses03 pic is of Sedum...maybe 2 plants...one with white flowers, one with pink. Closer foliage pic would help pin it down.

 

Here's a close up of the Haworthia, maybe a cuspidata ?

 

I believe it is Haworthia cymbiformis var. cymbiformis.

By the way, I didn't think of it when I first read your message, but if you happen to find a photo in my site that you'd need, they are available under a Creative Commons license and I can provide better resolutions than those on the site.
