Sorry be pedantic, but the correct name for the first plant is now Euphorbia polygona, which now includes E. horrida. There are now something like a dozen vars. recognised in this very variable sp.
The last is indeed a Pelargonium. With so little info I can't be specific but it looks like either P. crassicaule or P. cortusifolium. These sp. are closely related such that leaves and most importantly flowers are needed for a certain ID on this.

Thanks all, that's a great help
Colin, I may get back to you if I can persuade the Pelagonium to flower

Forgot to say, whichever sp. this is it's a winter grower, so it should be leafless right now. Well, my plants are.

Pelargonium cotyledonis will throw out a few leaves in summer.

Maybe, but I don't think it's that sp. from the little evidence available so far.
