Lego sure looks to be artsy with real world stuff. Why not focus on the themes more often? It used to do that in the past two decades. Just wondering. Anyway, those plant-based stuff sure look authentic.

I love the use of the pink frog pieces on the bonsai plant set!

I think the idea is to appeal to adults, who may not necessarily be fans of LEGO already. Just look at the descriptions in the article, listing benefits that I'm sure most LEGO fans are already aware of.

 I think these sets do that job pretty well, along with just being good sets in general, giving a nice-looking display model as well as an above average number of parts for their price. And many of those parts are quite interesting.
