Assembly Required, But No Green Thumbs Needed
First released back in December of 2020, Lego’s Botanicals Collection was one of the company’s most aggressive moves in expanding the appeal of its building sets to not just adults, but also adults who had no interest in building $800 Star Wars AT-AT models or 9,090-piece replicas of the Titanic. The intricate sets still had the lasting appeal of building with plastic bricks, but the results were something that looked like genuine home decor, and not something AFOLs (adult fans of Lego) felt they had to hide away in a home office.
The line launched with an elaborate flower bouquet as well as a meticulously pruned bonsai tree, and has since expanded with roses, tulips, sunflowers, and a Bird of Paradise—the largest botanicals set to date. But today, Lego revealed two new additions to the line.
