SPRING is here and flowers are in bloom, as gardeners are preparing for a blossoming beauty ahead of the summer season.
To get us in the mood, a tricky brainteaser with a flower theme asks you to locate a flower with a missing petal concealed in a vibrant scene.

In this image – prepared by Idealo – hundreds of blossoming flowers are scattered all over.
You’ll have to search carefully because the puzzle is covered in flowers of all different colours, which will make things more difficult.
The brainteaser is crammed with gorgeous flowers, ranging in colour from blue to green, yellow, and orange.
But there is one missing petal in one of the flower shapes – can you identify it?
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each element of the scene.
You might wish to start from the top left corner of the image and work your way down, or maybe do the complete opposite – whatever gives you more confidence!
Finish this challenge as quick as possible to prove you have the perfect eyesight.
Remember that only those with the sharpest eyes and strong determination can succeed.
That’s because this optical illusion has even the most experienced puzzle solvers racking their brains.
And if you don’t give it your best, you’re likely to follow them down the same path of failure.
The various bright colours make it harder for any one flower to stand out as all of them blend together.
It might be difficult for your eyes to focus as brainteasers are purposely designed to trick our vision.
Optical illusions can take many different forms, such as ambiguous images that can be interpreted in several ways or impossible objects that violate the rules of geometry.
They are widely regarded as helping improve our attention spans, concentration, and overall cognitive abilities.
Brain teasers like this are for people who enjoy challenging their creative thinking with fun games and puzzles.
