LEGO® Botanical Collection

07 Fulundïgi 2023

In the meantime, LEGO® has already released many different sets in the Botanical Collection. When LEGO® released this series in 2021, they never imagined it would become so popular. In the meantime, the 10280 Flower Bouquet is therefore displayed in many a living room. Consequently, the bouquet is quite handy. It requires no maintenance, looks great and lasts forever.

Plants for every occasion

Since time immemorial, various cultures and traditions have believed that there are profound spiritual meanings behind plants. But with the coming and going of generations, our society has somewhat lost sight of this symbolism. Yet it is still relevant, because knowing the meaning behind a plant can help you choose the perfect gift. Whether you are attending a housewarming or birthday party, or just want to brighten someone's day, we have plants to suit every personality and occasion.

Something to celebrate? A bouquet.

Whenever there is something to celebrate, a colourful bouquet of flowers is always a great idea. A flower bouquet is a versatile gift that symbolises love, adoration and celebration and suits almost any occasion. You can even choose between two different LEGO® bouquets. Lucky you! The classic LEGO® Flowers Bouquet features roses, daisies and snapdragons, and in the new 10280 Flower Bouquet LEGO® Wild Flowers Bouquet you'll find eight different types of wildflowers, including lavender, cow parsley and mock poppy. Lavender represents serenity, elegance and calmness, so this bouquet is the perfect first set for adults who want to experience how relaxing and mindful it can be to build with LEGO bricks. Or even better: why not combine the two bouquets to design your own unique flower arrangement?

For an unbreakable bond: dried flowers

The art of preserving flowers has been around for thousands of years, but currently there is a real resurgence. Dried flowers symbolise unconditional love and indelible memories, meaning they are perfect for thanking someone or letting them know how much they mean to you (for example, as a gift for a special anniversary). Thanks to the shared design of this LEGO® set, you can also build it perfectly together with someone else. After all, that's the essence of building with LEGO® bricks: spending time with your loved ones and making new memories. Tip: you can place this 10280 Flower Bouquet LEGO® Dried Flowers flower arrangement somewhere or hang it up as a wall decoration. And if you buy several, you can connect the sets and make one big flower wreath.

Orchids: showing love and affection

If you want to show someone that you love and care about them, there are lots of beautiful plants to choose from. We recommend choosing something meaningful, like an orchid. Flowers speak their own language, and for the delicate orchid, this is the language of love. An orchid symbolises love, beauty and luxury, making it the perfect gift for Mother's Day, birthdays or weddings. Moreover, they are a lot more original than the classic rose. Although of course, that one will always remain beautiful too. These elegant flowers are known to be difficult to keep alive, but you can rest assured that you won't have that problem with these 10311 Orchid. You even get a buildable pot with it!

A heart to heart: succulents

If someone is struggling, or a friend is having a bad day, or just when it's Monday, you can give someone encouragement with a plant that tells 'you can do this'. Succulents represent strength, determination and positivity, making them the perfect gift if you want to support someone. Cacti are a great way of saying that everything will work out in the end, as they symbolise perseverance. Like LEGO® bricks, cacti can take a lot - they even survive in hot deserts! So they are perfect for letting someone know that they should keep going and not give up. A wonderful message, right? With the LEGO® Botanical Succulents, you can build various plants from the succulent family and place them in your interior, such as cacti, agave and aloe (the latter symbolising beauty and good health).

Paradise plant: well done!

Looking for a way to say "Congratulations" or "You're great!"? The bird of paradise plant symbolises success, excellence and freedom. So the perfect plant to give as a gift to someone who is graduating, starting a new job, has been promoted or just achieved something amazing. With this exotic flower, you immediately imagine yourself in the tropics. The bird of paradise plant is known as a great houseplant. The 10289 Bird of Paradise not only looks equally beautiful, but is also the largest plant in the botanical collection (after all, bird of paradise plants can grow up to 2 metres tall in real life, which is as tall as your display case).

Giving someone peace: The Bonsai Tree

If you often feel the need for peace and tranquillity after a long working day, this plant is really for you. As you well know, building with LEGO® bricks provides much-needed mindfulness and relaxation. So if you know someone who is always on the go or has a stressful job, you can offer them a real zen moment with the 10281 Bonsai Tree. Bonsai Trees symbolise peace, tranquillity and harmony, so they are perfect for balancing someone's feng shui completely. Moreover, they also bring good luck. When you surround yourself with plants that have a certain meaning, you introduce positive energy and good vibes into your home. This is why a bonsai tree is a perfect gift for a housewarming party!

So now you know what the different plants symbolise. And if you're anything like us, no doubt you're all set to fill yourself (and your home) with positive plant energy! Explore the full 10281 Bonsai Tree LEGO® Botanical Collection here for a beneficial dose of flowerpower.
