Updates on my pet plants

Just a little update on my pet plants so far.
First up is my tillandsias. I got these plants last year and had tried different ways to display them and was not happy. I wanted to be able to bring them inside and place them on my mantle so I mounted them onto a piece of driftwood. After some time being in a sunny location outside, they have acquired a nice red tin.

I feel much happier with their look now.
I have recently added another 'pet' plant to my collection. It's a pitcher plant.
This is the second pitcher plant that I have.

This second pitchy cutie is smaller than the first one I have. Its 'pitchers' are also smaller but they're red, whereas those on the first one, N. ventrata, are more greenish.

I'm also waiting for my order of two more pitcher plants and two more tillies from Thailand. It looks like I'm hooked to these cuties!
