Duplicating and Flipping A Selection

I hope someone might be able to help with this query here. I have an action which takes an image, duplicates it and flips it horizontally (see images 1 and 2 below). The original image has a selection around the leaves and stem with a mask created, and when the image is flipped the selection/mask does not get transferred along with the duplicated image. What I would like to achieve is that the selection/mask gets duplicated and flipped along with the original image so that the final image is a mirror image of the original with selection/mask intact on the original and the duplicated image. I look forward to possible solutions. Thanks, Martin

Save the original selection before the Ctrl+J the copy the selected ares into a the new layer that you transform flip horizontally. The Ctrl+Click the new layer content thumbnail it the layer Palette. To select the layer pixels. To that selection add the saved selection. You would need to expand the canvas and move the flipped layer into the added canvas and add a background.
