LEGO Orchid green color variation

A LEGO Orchid set with white and pink flowers, built, is displayed on a light wooden surface in front of a light gray background.

My LEGO Orchid is one of my favorite botanical sets, so when I spotted the pieces in a bulk buy from an online thrift store, I decided to build a different color variation: white and green! (Lime or yellowish green petals with white center parts are more common, but I’m working with the part colors that LEGO has in production.)

Flowers and parts from a LEGO Orchid set with white and pink flowers and a MOC LEGO orchid with white and green flowers, arranged in a flat lay on a light wooden surface.

I replaced the ice cream swirl small buds with white ones, and the modified demigorgon heads with plain white mining head buds. Not as cool of a NPU (Nice Part Usage), but it works, and they come in the set! I didn’t have many flower parts to replace either — this one was pretty simple. (Here’s the Orchid part inventory on Rebrickable. PSA: creating a free account and logging in will get rid of those annoying ads! I use this site all the time.)

I made a few minimal changes to the stems and flower placement so the overall plants wouldn’t look exactly the same, but I could do more tweaking here. (I didn’t add any new parts for this.)

It was a fun, quick way to bring my own style to a LEGO set! I love building new colors of LEGO’s botanical sets — it’s been a great way for me to ease into building my own MOCs in a low-key way, and have even more brick-built plants and flowers. Plus, I can often use most of the original set’s parts, with only a few new parts needed.

A MOC LEGO orchid with white and green flowers and a LEGO Succulents set in a black MOC pot, both built, are displayed on a light wooden surface in front of a light gray background.

Here’s my new white and green LEGO orchid with my Succulents set, currently built in Ss3nse’s Succulents in a Pot SEC! Don’t be afraid to make a few changes of your own!

Happy flower building!
