At the rate LEGO is turning out brick-built flora sets, you’d be thinking about an actual greenhouse, maybe the size of a small room to start. Hot on the heels of the bonsai, pink roses, and hibiscus announcement in August are four more sets to fill your imaginary greenhouse. Again, this time LEGO ain’t forgetting about our younger friends. In addition to the LEGO Botanicals Tulip Bouquet and the LEGO Botanicals Peace Lily for adults, there are the LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus and the LEGO Botanicals Daisies set for the younger builders.
LEGO Botanicals Tulip Bouquet (11501)
Spring arrives early with the Tulip Bouquet (11501), a cheerful collection of five tulip varieties in different colors and stages of bloom. You get purple closed buds, vibrant green buds, and fully opened blossoms in red, yellow, pink, and orange. Each stem adjusts so you can arrange the bouquet like a true floral stylist, except this bouquet will never droop, wilt, or surprise you with mystery water smells. The tallest tulip measures over 36 cm tall, and the whole set packs a respectable 576 pieces. It is an elegant, everlasting centerpiece for anyone who likes nature but hates maintenance.
LEGO Botanicals Peace Lily (11504)
If serenity is more your jam, the Peace Lily (11504) delivers a calming display with lilies at three stages of life. LEGO worked its usual magic with unexpected parts, like repurposing a recolored carrot for the spadix on the half-open bloom and crowning the fully opened flower with an existing popcorn element. The soft peach pot completes the zen look. The build stands over 30 cm high, 25 cm wide, and 22 cm deep with 474 pieces, making it a surprisingly substantial décor piece for your office shelf or “I need peace today” corner.
LEGO Botanicals Daisies (11508)
For younger builders aged nine and up, the Daisies (11508) set brings a burst of cheerful energy. With 133 pieces, kids can assemble three large daisies, smaller daisy stems, three lavender sprigs, and bright green stems. A lucky ladybug perched on one lavender stem adds extra charm. The largest daisy stands over 20 cm tall. Once finished, it makes a perfect no-water-needed decoration for a kid’s desk, shelf, or bedroom.
LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus (11509)
Also for the kids is the Flowering Cactus (11509), featuring two cacti in different stages of bloom. One cactus sports a full pink flower with a yellow center, while the smaller one shows off budding pink growths. Both sit in a pastel blue pot and measure over 16 cm high and 11 cm wide. With 482 pieces, it is a colorful slice of desert life minus the “accidentally stab yourself” part.
