Thought those yellow flowers were real. What a great idea, double the colour.

For a second I thought it was an aquarium. Love the affect - looks like a window to another dimension.

Really effective, it looks great. I think the little yellow flowers are the perfect finishing touch.

OH yes it does

☺ I notice it brings in more light to .

Yes, its the light as much as the reflections that make garden mirroors so useful. I had one on my north facing fence in the last garden. It made a huge difference to the atmosphere of a potentially gloomy aspect. I love the painted flowers idea too Brian!

Great idea & the scene will change through the year - except for the yellow flowers & leaves, lol.

Wow, what a great idea. I have been thinking of adding a mirror for a while but when I was looking at ones advertised for the garden, the price was silly. Looks really effective.

Jen if you buy a second hand one you would need to paint the back as ones intended for internal use are often not water proof

Thanks again Brian. I will have to start keeping an eye out for one.

That's a fantastic idea, Brian! It really did look like an aquarium to me at first glance as well! Very, very effective! Well done you!
