Alfred Hitchcock's classic romantic-comedy thriller starring Cary Grant is a classic Wrong Man scenario. Definitely one of my favorite movies.
Read about the unfortunate mix-up between a car crash survivor and victim.
My own personal agave "bible". Highly recommended.
An update of the first book with more pictures of hybrids.
Highly recommended. This is an excellent book for cycad lovers. I found the information on cultivation and propagation very useful.

A gift from my wife. Lots of very good tips for someone new to organic gardening like me.
A must-buy after a visit to the Annual Orchid Show of the Philippine Orchid Society.
One of the author's is coming to Manila next month to give a lecture. Read up on your ferns before her lecture.

Bom that's a fantastic photo, you have played in photoshop or something? I love it, looking at it more closely are the colours on the plant true or have you added colour or should that stay a mystery?
wishing you and your family a happy new year and all the best for 2012, Frances
Happy New Year. That is a cool image.
Happy New Year, Frances and Donna!
The photo was edited on a software called Pixelmator. You're very observant. Yes, the colors of the plant were saturated but just a little bit.
You can see the original here:
Welcome to My Garden
Fantastic photo! You are good at special effects.
Happy New Year!
I had to look twice at that! Very awesome.
Happy New year to you as well.
Peace.

@ One: Hi! This wasn't my work. My daughter and my wife enjoy playing around with photo software.
@ Rosey: Thank you!
Fireworks, and my heart sinks, then sings when I absorb your picture!!
Bom - these leopards are not in MY garden, they are up on the mountain ;~) Any large animal from your year 2011 is welcome!
That's very creative idea. I didn't know it's a plant at first glance. Looks like fireworks. Happy New Year 2012 to you and family, BOM!
Diana and Autumn Belle, I'm so glad you approve of my kind of fireworks.
@Diana: You incorporate the land around you so wonderfully in your posts, it seems like all the land surrounding yours actually is and I forget that sometimes.
Lovely photo!
Wishing you all the best to you and your family in the new year!
All the best to you, Bom.
Wouldn't it be fun to meet up in Wine Country!
Love the image, and so glad we're also connected on FaceBook.
Cheers!!
Happy New Year Bom! That's great, i wonder how every flower and plant fit in there perfectly, as if many photos mixed together. Even those at the back are in focus veering away from the DOF function, lovely.
@ Patty: Thanks. Glad you liked it.
@ Alice: It would most definitely be fun to meet up in Wine Country! So difficult to arrange holiday schedules when realities and responsibilities insist on interfering. Heh!
@ Andrea: Mother nature working at her best? It's really just one photo. You can see the original in one of my older posts. I put a link in the 3rd comment above. As for DOF, I really wouldn't know. Maybe because I use a point and shoot, everything is in focus?
Did you go home to Mabini for the holidays?
Happy new year! How nice that your photo is still in theme!
