www.ign.com
Four years since its launch in 2021, the Botanical Collection has become one of LEGO's most successful lines. Targeted at a growing adult audience, the LEGO Botanical Collection features buildable flowers and plants that are, from a distance, indistinguishable from the real ones.That's the point of them to be LEGO sets for adults. Rather than collecting dust, forgotten, on a random shelf, they can hang up on a wall. Or sit on a window sill. Or be placed in a vase as a table centerpiece. This is LEGO as a lifestyle, to be decorative rather than interactive, and they make for great gifts for your loved ones.Featured in this articleLEGO Bonsai TreeLEGO SucculentsLEGO OrchidLEGO Wildflower BouquetLEGO Bouquet of RosesLEGO Tiny PlantsLEGO Cherry BlossomSee it at AmazonLEGO PoinsettiaLEGO Pretty Pink Flower BouquetLEGO Flower ArrangementSee it at LEGO StoreBelow we've laid out allof the details of our 10 favorite LEGO Plants and Flowers sets you can buy right now.
