I used to raise Tillandsias for many years. One looks like an ionantha. What are the other two? Are you going to keep them with mantises? I cut way back on Orchids and no longer have Tillandsias. My mantises take up too much time.

Honestly I don't know the names but yes going to keep with mantids

One thing don't let water collect on them. It can cause rot. Make sure they dry completely in less than a few hours after watering.

I mounted the plants of some driftwood that I had from Yellowstone

I know every year at the LA County Fair there are lots of vendors for the air plants, plumeria, and orchids (the flowers). They even have a few carnivorous plants. I wasn't too impressed with the selection or quality of the CPs. Maybe attending the county fair at the beginning would offer a better selection and quality. I'll have to check it out earlier this year.
