Does anyone know what these flowers are called? Are they Annuals or Pernennials? Can I collect seeds?
They are Mesembryanthemums. I am not sure if they self seed or not but seed is readily available in Garden Centres.

p.s. Should have added that they are annuals.
Thank you!

Are iceplant and Mesembryanthemum the same? At least the ice plant is perennial and can survive harsh winters.
Iceplant is the common name for Sedum. The big ones, (spectabile) not the little ground hugging types.
Mesembryanthemums are often called Livingstone daisies. They might be called iceplants too, though I haven't heard that one
It's always better to use the correct botanical name though - just to avoid confusion
