Only green-fingered geniuses can spot welly boot in busy garden scene in 34 seconds

Green-fingered puzzle lovers will naturally love a new brainteaser that challenges them to find a wellington boot concealed somewhere in a leafy vegetable garden.

It's understood that it will take the average person 34 seconds to uncover the boot, so you're likely a bit of a puzzle whizz if you solve it in less time.

With many of us currently enjoying the balmy June sunshine, there probably isn't a better time to kick back with a flourishing garden puzzle.

This particular brainteaser is intended to put all your powers of observation to the test and is much trickier than the relaxing image would suggest.

Ready to give it a go for yourself? Set your timer and cast your eye over the following idyllic image:

The best way to go about solving a puzzle such as this one would be to divide the picture into sections, scanning each one for tell-tale clues.

With this brainteaser, which was shared by tool suppliers at SGS Engineering, you'll need to harness your inner detective to pick out shapes and colours, looking out for objects which could be obscuring your view.

If you've still not managed to figure it out after 34 seconds, remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to being a puzzle master, and the more you do, the sharper your brain will become.

When you're ready, scroll down to look at the same picture again, this time with the boot clearly circled:

As you can see, the boot has been partially concealed by a large bucket and a leafier plant. The fact that it's almost the same shade of green as the grass makes it even more difficult to spot, and just shows how noticing the subtlest of differences can help crack a puzzle.
