There is something beautiful about giving and receiving plants.
Since ancient times, various cultures and traditions have believed that plants have deep spiritual meaning.
But as generations have come and gone, our society has become less familiar with these symbols.
However, it is still just as relevant, because if you know what plants stand for, you can find the perfect gift.
Whether it's a housewarming, birthday or just something to brighten someone's day, we have plants for every personality and every occasion...
Red roses: a symbol of true love
Is there anything more romantic than giving your loved one a bouquet of red roses? The LEGO® Icons Rose Bouquet is the perfect gift for someone you love... especially on Valentine's Day, or really for any occasion. Red roses have symbolized true love, passion, desire and romance for centuries. This bouquet will not only make someone very happy, it will also never fade.
This LEGO set contains a dozen red roses and 4 sprigs of baby's breath - beautiful to display in your home or office. All you need is a vase!
Flower bouquet: time to celebrate
If there is something to celebrate, a colorful bouquet of flowers is always a great idea.
A flower bouquet is a versatile gift that symbolizes love, adoration and celebration that suits almost any occasion.
You can even choose between two different LEGO® bouquets. Lucky you! The classic LEGO Flower Bouquet features roses, daisies and snapdragons, and the new LEGO Wildflower Bouquet features eight different types of wildflowers, including lavender, cow parsley and mock poppy.
Lavender represents serenity, elegance and tranquility, so this bouquet is the perfect first set for adults who want to experience how relaxing and mindful it can be to build with LEGO bricks.
Or even better: why not combine the two bouquets to design your own unique flower arrangement?
Dried flowers: an unbreakable bond
The art of preserving flowers has been around for thousands of years, but a real revival is currently underway.
Dried flowers symbolize unconditional love and indelible memories, which means they are perfect for thanking someone or letting them know how much they mean to you (for example, as a gift for a special anniversary).
Tip: you can place this LEGO Dried Flowers flower arrangement somewhere or hang it up as a wall decoration. And if you buy several, you can connect the sets and make one large flower wreath.
Thanks to the shared design of this LEGO set, you can also build it perfectly with someone else. After all, that is the essence of building with LEGO bricks: spending time with your loved ones and making new memories.
Orchids: show love and affection
If you want to show someone that you love and care about them, there are many beautiful plants to choose from. We recommend choosing something meaningful, like an orchid.
Flowers speak their own language, and for the delicate orchid this is the language of love. An orchid symbolizes love, beauty and luxury, making it the perfect gift for Mother's Day, birthdays or weddings. Moreover, they are a lot more original than the classic rose (although we love those too). thumbnails right.
These elegant flowers are notoriously difficult to keep alive, but rest assured you won't have that problem with this one. You even get a buildable pot!
Succulents: to cheer someone up
If someone is having a hard time, or if a friend is having a bad day, or just if it's Monday, you can encourage someone with a plant that tells them 'you can do this'.
Succulents represent strength, determination and positivity and are therefore the perfect gift if you want to support someone.
Just like LEGO bricks, cacti can withstand a lot, they even survive in hot deserts! So they are perfect to let someone know that they should keep pushing forward and not give up. A wonderful message, right?
With our LEGO Botanical Succulents you can build and display different plants from the succulent family in your interior, such as cacti, agave and aloe (the latter symbolizes beauty and good health).
Or how about the new, cute LEGO Icons Mini Plants, a collection of tough desert plants such as cacti, tropical species and carnivorous species: the perfect boost for a friend who is feeling down.
Bird of Paradise Plant: Well Done!
Looking for a way to say "Congratulations" or "You're awesome!" to say? The bird of paradise plant symbolizes success, excellence and freedom. The perfect plant to give as a gift to someone who is graduating, starting a new job, getting a promotion or simply achieving something great.
With this exotic flower you immediately feel like you are in the tropics.
The bird of paradise plant is known as a great houseplant. Our version of LEGO bricks not only looks just as good, but is also the largest plant in our collection (bird of paradise plants can grow up to 2 meters in real life, which is as high as your display cabinet).
Bonsai tree: giving someone peace
If you often need peace and quiet after a long day at work, this plant is definitely for you.
As you may know, building with LEGO bricks provides the necessary mindfulness and relaxation. So if you know someone who is always on the road or has a stressful job, you can offer them a real zen moment with the LEGO Bonsai Tree.
Bonsai trees symbolize peace, tranquility and harmony, so they are perfect for completely balancing one's feng shui. They also bring luck.
When you surround yourself with plants that have a certain meaning, you introduce positive energy and good vibes into your home. That's why a bonsai tree is a perfect housewarming gift!
Daffodils: a fresh start and a new beginning
When you see a bright yellow daffodil emerge, you'll immediately know that winter is over and spring is on its way, as these hardy flowers are among the first to bloom when the weather warms up. Daffodils are therefore a great gift to celebrate a new beginning or fresh start (such as a new job or home).
You may immediately imagine them in bright yellow, but they actually appear just as often in white. Our LEGO Daffodil set has a few of each, each with adjustable stems and long, narrow leaves. So if you want to welcome spring or just put a smile on someone's face, daffodils are the ideal choice.
Sunflowers: give someone a ray of sunshine
All flowers bloom best in summer, but there is one that stands head and shoulders above all others (literally). We are of course talking about the breathtakingly beautiful yellow sunflower, an unmistakable beauty that puts a smile on everyone's face and surprises again and again with its impressive figure and large, sun-loving head. The latter even loves sunlight so much that it simply rotates with the sun during the day.
So if you want to brighten someone's day or give someone a good dose of positivity, our LEGO Sunflowers set is definitely for you.
Tulips: good for any occasion
Tulips are among the most popular flowers in the world and symbolize perfect love, so we naturally think they are suitable for any occasion. They are known for their numerous colors and patterns and for their soft, cup-shaped petals. You can find them all over the world in parks, gardens and living rooms, where they give everyone who sees them a warm feeling.
In tribute to this diversity, the LEGO Tulips set includes three different flowers – one white, one purple and one yellow, each with an adjustable stem so they fit effortlessly in most vases.
So if you are looking for a nice gift or a relaxing construction project, then these beautiful tulips are definitely for you.
So now you know what the different plants symbolize. And if you're anything like us, you're undoubtedly ready to fill yourself (and your home) with positive plant energy! Explore the entire LEGO Botanical Collection here for a beneficial dose of flower power.
