Lego has just revealed FOUR new Botanicals sets, coming to stores on 1 January
Including the most expensive set yet.
If you’re a fan of Lego Botanicals, we’ve got some very good news for you: Lego has just revealed that four new sets are on their way. The sets — Lucky Bamboo, Mini Orchid, Flower Arrangement and Pretty Flower Pink Bouquet — are all 18+ and are due to land in stores on 1st January.
Two of the sets, Lucky Bamboo and Mini Orchid are at the new price point of £24.99 — the same price that the recent Plum Blossom and Chrysanthemum launched at. The Bouquet remains the usual £54.99, the price at which the Bouquet of Roses launched at earlier this year, but the Flower Arrangement is set to be the most expensive Lego Botanicals set yet, with a price tag of £94.99. But with a piece count of 1,161, it’s also the largest Botanicals set to date.
New Lego range alert!
There’s also another important change with this new wave of sets: The Botanical Collection is finally its own range. Previously, sets have been part of the Lego Icons collection, but these new sets have a ‘Botanicals’ logo on the box instead of Icons. It shows that Lego is committed to bringing more sets to the range — and, presumably, a sign that they have been very popular. We’re very pleased: we love the Botanicals range, so we’re happy that we’ll be getting more.
Let’s take a look at each set in more detail, shall we?
Lego Botanical Collection Lucky Bamboo
- RRP: £24.99
- Number of pieces: 325
One of two smaller Botanicals sets to arrive on 1st January, the Lucky Bamboo has been designed to match the already-existing Plum Blossom and Chrysanthemum. It’s a similar size, and comes with a brick-built pot of a similar shape.
The Lucky Bamboo is 29cm tall, so plenty big enough to make a statement. And we think this is a set that will look perfect in a kitchen or bathroom — finally, you can have Lego in those rooms! We particularly love the “pebbles” in the bottom of the pot.

Lego Botanical Collection Mini Orchid
- RRP: £24.99
- Number of pieces: 274
The Mini Orchid has slightly fewer pieces than the Lucky Bamboo, despite being at the same price point. But we suspect this is likely due to the large leaves on the Orchid — they’re similar in shape to the leaves found on the full-size Orchid.
Everything here is similar to the full-sized Orchid, in fact. The flower construction is similar, albeit on a smaller scale, and the stem looks to be built in the same way. The main difference, of course, is the pot. While the full-sized Lego Orchid has a blue ridged pot, this one matches the somewhat oriental-style design of the Lucky Bamboo.
More information about the Mini Orchid is available on Lego.com.
Lego Botanical Collection Flower Arrangement
- RRP: £94.99
- Number of pieces: 1,161
Here it is: the biggest and most expensive Lego Botanical Collection set to be released to date. It’s very impressive-looking, though. The flowers are arranged in a Greek-style vase, and a gorgeous, colourful array of flowers and plants spill out of it.
According to Lego’s description, there are 14 different types of flowers included in the set, including amellias, peonies, hydrangeas, baby’s breath, ranunculus, bouvardia and lilies. It’s the most diverse Botanicals display to date — unless you’ve combined multiple bouquets into one, of course.

Lego Botanical Collection Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet
- RRP: £54.99
- Number of pieces: 749
We’ve already had three bouquets from Lego, and we’re about to get a fourth. The Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet might be the most eye-catching of the lot, though, thanks to its beautifully bold hues of pink (of course, with a splash of green in there too).
This one has fifteen individual flower stems, making a sizeable bouquet to be displayed in your home. Unlike the other upcoming Botanicals sets, however, this one doesn’t come with a vase. So you’ll either need to build your own or use an existing one from around the house.
