This plant - Ice Plant (thxs Geoff and Bill) - was used to hold the soil and the sand on coastal areas but it became a plague forcing local plants to go... anyway it has beautiful flowers. Known in portuguese as "chorão das praias" - "beach cry baby" :-)

Red Pitcher Plant-Nepenthes ventricosa-Carnivorous-Easy
Nepenthes ventricosa - Red Pitcher Plant. One of the best and easiest species to start with, this plant produces pink/red traps with a narrow 'waist' and is exceptionally easy to grow. Distribution: Philippines. Nepenthes are commonly known as pitcher plants or monkey cups as the tips of some leaves form jug like structures which hold a digestive liquid ready for the unsuspecting prey to fall in to. You can recreate their natural habitat in a variety of ways including greenhouse growing, Florida Room, and large terrariums which look magnificent in the home - and are quite a talking point! They can even be grown in a north or east window! Temperature: The Nepenthes come from high up in the hills surrounding perhaps jungles or other similar terrain. They can tolerate temperatures of 54 degrees F. to 95 degrees F.
Arabian Tea Jasmine Plant - Maid of Orleans - In Bloom!
As sweet as the smell of success. But easier to come by. This everblooming Jasmine has bushy growth and does particularly well on windowsills. We find that the fragrance of the white flowers somehow clears the air. So set one of these plants on the sill, set yourself in a nearby chair and...easy now...breathe in. You will discover what others have discovered: the clarity of this fragrance is unrivaled in all of nature. It is well known in Asia for its use in teas and religious observances. Also known as the 'Arabian Tea Jasmine,' it is the National Flower of the Philippines, where it is known as 'Sampaguita.'
Blue Satin Hibiscus Rose of Sharon - BEST BLUE HIBISCUS
Family: Malvaceae (Hibis-cus: ancient Greek and Latin name, syri-acus: Syrian) Absolutely the best blue! Its large, singel, rich royal blue flowers are certain to draw attention. 'Blue Satin' is a strong growing, uniform plant with rich color. Hybridized by Rien Verweij of the Netherlands. AWARDS: Award of Recommendation Royal Boskoop Horticulture Society.
