I love the clear morning sunshine at our place, it's so fresh and clean in the way it beams through foliage like X-rays and sets flower colours alight in the early hours. Right now our garden is not all that afire with spring flowers, but with a well-placed mirror against the shed at the rear of the garden, at least we had twice as many flowers to enjoy this morning (that's lavender in the left pot, tibouchina on the right).

Looks great. Is it a standard mirror? I have thought about putting a mirror somewhere in the garden but haven't known what type to buy. I gather yours is a standard mirror that you have sealed.
Hi Lanie
It was just an ordinary mirror found in pretty good condition at a local second-hand store, intended for use indoors. I think putting under the eaves of the shed is the big thing in its happy survival so far. It only gets splashed with rain on those horribly windy days, the rest of the time it's fairly protected.
What a wonderful idea it is to have a mirror in the garden! Not only does it give your garden a mysterious mirror effect, but it also does a great job at doubling the flora and colours of your garden. It’s such a clever idea. I think more people should have/use mirrors in their gardens. :)
What a great idea. I'd like to add a mirror that's about 10 m x 5 m to make my garden look bigger. Has anyone in blogland watched 'Monty Don's Italian Gardens' currently screening on ABC1? It's wonderful. I'm hooked. I've blogged about it, couldn't help myself.
