LEGO Spring Celebrations

Spring is almost here, and Chronicle Books is saluting the season by offering botany in bricks. 

It's an illustrated compendium of flowers and plants from LEGO designers, who also share their stories. There is even a flower print which one can put on display.

The book is inspired by the bestselling LEGO Botanical sets. Unlike natural blooms, these stay fresh forever. 

The LEGO Botanical Almanac is meant to highlight ''where art meets science and building meets play.'' 

And through May 4, folks in Vero Beach, Florida, have a chance to see over 40 LEGO sculptures which celebrate nature.
