LEGO has successfully expanded its catalog with a wide variety of products that go beyond its classic building sets. Among this diversification, the Botanical line stands out , a series of artificial flower and plant sets that allow enthusiasts to recreate floral designs with LEGO bricks. This collection has become a popular choice for both gifts and decorating spaces, as it combines the aesthetic appeal of a bouquet of flowers with the enjoyable experience of building. Around times like Valentine's Day , they become a sought-after and original option for a unique and thoughtful gift.
The Botanical line of sets encompasses a variety of flowers, from roses and orchids to sunflowers and other diverse bouquets. Each set comprises a specific number of pieces that allow for the assembly of the flowers with remarkable detail. Many also include adjustable stems and additional elements that enhance the realistic appearance, not to mention the ability to combine sets to create unique bouquets. Let's take a look at all the options this collection offers.
Bouquet of roses
One of the most striking sets in the collection is the Rose Bouquet , which allows you to recreate a dozen of these classic flowers. This set includes 822 pieces with which you can assemble the roses in three different stages of bloom, giving them an extra touch of realism. It also incorporates four sprigs of veil that complement the overall design. The rose bouquet is one of the most elegant options in the Botanical line and can be used both as home decor and as a special gift. Assembling it is quite an enjoyable challenge, and the final result offers a very attractive visual finish.
Individual roses, sunflowers, daffodils, cherry blossoms and lotus
For those who prefer simpler, yet equally striking options, there's a set that includes two individual roses, another with two sunflowers, a third with three lotus flowers, one with four daffodils, and finally, a kit with two cherry blossoms . These are affordable alternatives within the Botanical line (all priced at €14,99), featuring a thoughtful design and adjustable stems that allow them to be used as complements to other LEGO flower sets.
The mounted flowers reach an approximate height of between 26 and 32 centimeters , depending on the branch and type of flower.
Mini orchid
For those seeking more delicate floral designs, the mini orchid set is an excellent alternative. It's a smaller option within the collection, but boasts a high level of detail. With 274 pieces , it allows you to build both the orchid itself and its pot, making it a compact and elegant decorative piece. Its affordable price has also contributed to its popularity among LEGO enthusiasts, making it one of the best-selling sets in the artificial plant category.
Fantasy Flower Bouquet in Pink
If you're looking for a more varied bouquet, the pink fantasy flower set is an excellent choice. It comprises 749 pieces and allows you to create a variety of flowers, including orchids, ranunculus, daisies, cornflowers, roses, and a dahlia. This combination of blooms gives the bouquet a vibrant and colorful look . Furthermore, the flower stems are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the arrangement of each flower to best suit any space.
Bouquet of flowers
One of the first sets released in the collection. Despite being in the catalog for a while, it remains one of the most popular. It contains 756 pieces , with which you can arrange roses, daisies, and asters. Very colorful and cheerful, perfect for a centerpiece—just like the one yours truly has, by the way.
Wildflower Bouquet
This bouquet features eight varieties of wildflowers on adjustable stems. If you're a flower lover, you'll enjoy assembling the buds inspired by cornflowers, lavender, yellow poppies, green chervil, leatherleaf ferns, gerberas, larkspur, and lupins. They are more striking and unique than a conventional bouquet, which we feel is more suited to a classic setting. For reference, the larkspur, with its straight stem, measures approximately 47 cm in height.
Floral arrangement
This is one of the latest additions to the family. The Floral Arrangement consists of 1.161 pieces , can measure up to 26 cm tall, and is filled with vibrant flowers, such as camellias, peonies, hydrangeas, sprigs of baby's breath, ranunculus, hummingbird flowers, and lilies. This time, it even comes with a brick-built chalice-shaped vase that can hold other LEGO flower sets, which, of course, you'll have to buy separately. It's currently the most expensive set in the Botanicals family.
Lucky bamboo
This pretty decorative plant is said to attract good fortune. We don't know if that's true, but it will certainly provide you with a good time with its pot and base that imitates wood, pebbles, and three green bamboo stalks with leaves. The set consists of 325 pieces and is also attractively priced at under €30. Ideal for greenery lovers . It measures approximately 29 cm in height.
Plum Blossom
Very much in the style of Lucky Bamboo, we have Plum Blossom. It also consists of few pieces ("only" 327 blocks ) and even comes with a pastel blue pot with a gold band and a wood-look base—which you also have to assemble, of course. A beautiful interpretation of the striking red plum blossom that looks ideal in any corner of your home.
Chrysanthemum
There's also room for chrysanthemums in the individual pots. This time, we find vibrant orange blossoms in bud, opening, and fully bloomed, as well as a pastel green pot with a gold band and a wood-effect base. In total, there are 278 pieces (including the pot and base) to help you have a chrysanthemum at home that you'll never have to water.
Bonsai
We recognize this as another one of our favorite sets for its originality. The LEGO Bonsai consists of 878 pieces and has the charming feature that you can assemble it with just green leaves, or add pink cherry blossoms. These can also be placed in different spots, allowing for even greater customization. It measures 18 cm high, 21 cm long, and 20 cm wide.
Succulent
As LEGO itself says, "succulents are a great way to bring a little piece of nature into your home," and they're absolutely right. This set comes with nine different succulents, each inspired by a real-life variety, of course, allowing you to have a charming group of small plants with different shapes and colors at home. It's perhaps one of the sets that seems least balanced in terms of quantity/attraction-to-price ratio, but if you prefer more understated arrangements, this might be the set for you—and hey, if not, you can always wait for a sale to snag it cheaper.
Poinsettia
We're wrapping up our review of the Botanicals range of flowers with a rather special set—one that I admit is already on my wish list for next Christmas. We're talking about the Poinsettia, an articulated LEGO plant that replicates the "Grande Italia" poinsettia in a wicker basket. The floral arrangement consists of green leaves and five central clusters of vibrant red leaves (bracts), making it an elegant decorative element perfect for displaying at home this Christmas.
As you can see, the LEGO Botanical collection offers an innovative alternative to traditional flower bouquets. Thanks to their detailed design and variety of options, these sets have gained popularity among those looking for an original gift or a unique decorative piece. Furthermore, each set features a level of assembly that is quite entertaining for LEGO enthusiasts and crafters in general. The hardest part, without a doubt, is choosing just one.
