You are at the bottom of our failure.
I think you mean: "you are the reason for our failure." You could perhaps say, "At bottom, you are the reason for/source of our failure."
I bought a flower on my bottom dollar.
I think Andrew is right that this is a very restricted phrase. Try: "I bought a flower with my last dollar."
