Our new friend

Or should we say 'pet'?
We have been staring lovingly at this cute little carnivore. It is a 'pitcher plant' and quite exquisite in its own way. There are two types in store at the moment, this tall one, and also one called a nepenthes which is a strange sort of plant with hanging gourd-shape fly-capturing extensions coming off the ends of the leaves. What darlings!
