Can you spot the little pink frogs hidden in the leaves of the cherry blossom?

Lego fans can now build everything from Star Wars Millennium Falcon for Batman Batmobile, but now the toy company wants to attract older fans with its new Botanical series.
The series, which will launch in January, includes kits for making realistic-looking bonsai and bouquets of colorful flowers aimed at the adult audience looking for a way to relax.
According to the Lego Play Well Study 2020, 70% of adults are looking for new ways to relieve stress, and Lego believes that playing with sets like these can “bring mindfulness and stress relief to busy adults every day”.
“I think a lot of people are looking for ways to change their mood and relax,” said Lego Group design leader Jamie Berard in a statement. “We are delighted to be able to help you seek comfort in your hectic daily life through this beautiful Lego botanical collection.”

The Lego Bonsai Tree model can make two types of trees, perennial and sakura trees. You can also create new trees to reflect changing seasons. There are also small pink frogs hidden in the petals of the cherry blossom. The kit also includes a rectangular flower pot and a wooden pedestal.
The Lego Flower Bouquet set allows users to build snapdragons, roses, poppies, asters, daisies and even grass. The length of the stem is adjustable and can be easily arranged to fit any vessel.
You can also combine Lego Rose 40460 and Lego Tulip 40461 (sold separately) to add variety to your bouquets. Even cooler, these Lego Botanicals bricks will be made from plant-derived plastic elements made from sustainable sugar cane.
Lego Botanicals sets will be available for purchase at Japan’s Lego store, Benelic Store at Rakuten and Amazon.co.jp.
