there are two strong hints indicating where this picture may have been taken. But only one of them is true - the other is misdirection.
So where do you think it was?

Bravo Martin! you get a round of e-applause for the correct answer :) I thought it would be more difficult to guess, but it is indeed Monte Palace Tropical Garden - and for me, the most interesting among the many gardens near Funchal (thanks to its location, variety, getting there by teleferico, oriental accents, azulejo displays, and the museum of minerals)
