Here's a conundrum for you.
The mirror is in a "room", which is a garden exhibit, fully open to the elements, and fully furnished. The walls are painted like sky, but that's the real sky reflected in the mirror. V2 gives a little more context, showing the overmantel shelf.
There are plants growing out of everything, including the tulip bed, which I have shown in V3, and I love the clock hanging above the bedhead. Now, this is a true flower bed!
This was found at Butterfly World in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, which is fairly new and still undergoing development. As part of Phase 1 of the project, in 2008 Butterfly World hosted a designer gardens exhibition called Future Gardens which involved inviting talented garden designers from around the world to contribute thought-provoking designs for individual gardens which fit into the segments of a caterpillar. Each of the 12 gardens makes a unique design statement.

A fascinating conundrum indeed in these three shots! Well observed and captured.
Lavina
Very well captured, Pamela. There was a similar room at the Floriade this year with plants growing out of a cooker, pans, plates, cups etc. Quite surreal but I couldn't get an angle like you've got here.
Dave
Quote: Fascinating, amazing set here Pamela, superbly captured.
Could not agree more, and then some.......
John
Unique! you have just struck me dumbfounded! I am struggling to say something! but I don't know what to say!you are very clever in a quiet way! Your flowers are amazing! but this is something different! talent will out, you have the + factor in these shots and I can't give you an award dam it! I love them all regards Leon.
Wonderful set of images, it has to be V1 for me
Hugh
Yes, very intriguing - examining the reflection it does make it all clearer! 
A brilliant set, Pamela, each one excellently captured and presented 
Trev
Clever. At first I thought you had overlaid another image into the circle to make it look like a mirror.
Of three excellent shots, the close crop and mystery of V1 wins the day for me, Pamela.
Malc
DIANE: I'm not in the shot because it was taken from an angle. I was, however, less successful with the reflective globes in another of their gardens.
DAVE & PHILIP: I think "surreal" is an appropriate word.
MALC: No jiggery-pokery here.
Interesting and well seen image, Pamela. I quite like it... Strangely.. I'm a bit 'confused'.. not as tidy as your image. I quite like to see more of the lamp.. actually I like the leaves on the lamp on V2... Personally, if I could do the clone work, I perhaps would work on V2,keep the lamp ,get rid of the 'little ones' and "free transform" it bit to make the mirror round....
An interesting and eclectic set Pamela, these are full of intrigue
Cracking image Pam I never thought about taking the image through the mirror when I was there..Lin
a very intriguing composition, you certainly have presented this in the best possible manner, totally enchanting.
