I have built plenty of Lego models over the years. I had a lot as a kid that tended to end up getting mixed together in a big box and used to build things from my imagination. That tended to be buildings and machines. These days they seem to aim much more at the adult market (AFOLs are Adult Fans of Lego). A fairly recent range are a array of plants. I had a couple of these kits as presents and have just finished building them.
The first one I build was the orchid. We do have a load of real orchids, but this one will need less care, apart from dusting. First you build the pot.
Obviously there are lots of specialist parts. The detail is quite good with the shiny leaves and complex flowers. As usual there are a few spare parts. I tend to build on an oven tray to avoid losing bits.
Next we have a bonsai tree. Again you make the pot first and 'plant' the trunk in it with some twisting vines. The pot is filled with small, round parts that act as the soil.
From that point you have a choice. You can finish it with either leaves or blossom. I have opted with leaves, but I may change it over later. There is a stand for the whole thing.
I bought another kit directly from Lego with a voucher and it came with a free bonus kit of these wild flowers. That was a very quick build. I used our stash of bricks to make a pot for them.
So I have one more kit to build that is sort of a plant. You will have to wait to find out what it is...

I have seen these around. I look at the price tag on some of them and faint xD
They are not so cheap, but these were all gifts. The prices of some big kits are crazy. Keep an eye out for sales.
During pandemic I needed to created a LEGO promo video for a client's campaign. So after the video shoot we wound up with three boxes. It was fun to sort of go back in time to when my sons were younger and were all about those LEGOs. Good times.
There is a nostalgia element to it. I was really into Lego as a kid, but then we didn't have smartphones or computers then.
This is so creative I must say . What a unique talent you've got up your sleeves.
Those Lego plants look fantastic! It's great to see how much detail they pack in. The orchid and bonsai are particularly impressive.
I'm also intrigued to see what the last plant kit is!
I just follow the instructions. It's a bit of fun.
It's quite evident you follow them to the latter . 👍 Good job well done !!
So cool you don’t have to lego of your childhood interests!
I'm not going to block out those desires. It just clicks with me.
😂😂😂
I've seen these flower kits around, originally I thought how difficult can it be to build a Lego plant, then I saw it's got quite a few hundred pieces. How crazy is that!!
It seems like Lego is really milking this adult market, some of them are so expensive! My cousin is a big fan and I often see him post his latest kits online
They are not cheap. I have to save up for more.
Lego has gradually become an adult and kids toy but I like it it's good
High level of creativity.
This is nice!
I simple love this collection!!

Very interesting! I think I like the bonsai tree the best!
"had a lot as a kid that tended to end up getting mixed together in a big box and used to build things from my imagination.
