LEGO set: Roses (40460)
LEGO’s red roses are my favorite lower-priced botanical set. They have all the intricacy of the Flower Bouquet and Wildflower Bouquet, and the build is slightly different than the roses in the Flower Bouquet. But with just two flowers, they’re a great price point for a small gift or to try and see how you…

MOC: Winter Ice Flowers with vases (and a playable landscape base!)
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve submitted my transparent winter flowers MOC to LEGO’s Ideas platform! This means that if you love this idea, you can vote for it to become a real set produced by LEGO someday! I built this set because I really love LEGO’s Botanical collection, and I wanted to see if…

Here it is with the Bumblebee Girl for scale. Gardeners will notice this…

SEC: Hyacinth by DoctorOctoroc

This is the Hyacinth by DoctorOctoroc. I love the flower and plant shapes, and that modern-style white pot. I bought the instructions on Rebrickable here. I built it…

SEC: White Brick Vase by thebricknurse
After I built my LEGO Flower Bouquet (10280), I needed a vase for it! Since LEGO didn’t make a vase set, and I didn’t feel confident enough in my building skills to create a MOC* I’d like, I started searching for SEC** instructions. *MOC = My Own Creation; **SEC = Someone Else’s Creation This is…

LEGO poppy color variations
Some color variations I built of LEGO’s Poppy design (part of 10280 Flower Bouquet, from the Botanical Collection) in dark azure, medium blue, yellow, bright light orange, red, dark red, and white, with various center colors. I’m still waiting for the last few parts on a few of these! Vase is the White Brick Vase…
