The Perfect Special Occasion Flowers

Flowers are a classic gift for celebrations, but did you know certain flowers are best suited to a specific occasion. Each symbolises something different, and their meaning can strike true when they’re paired with a meaningful event. Check out our sets of special occasion flowers from the LEGO® Botanicals collection.

Birthday Flowers

Every month has its own birth flower, and a bouquet of those flowers is always a good choice as a birthday gift. Each flower carries an important meaning, whether it’s love and affection or a symbol of joy and friendship.

However, you can never go wrong with a gorgeous and colourful bouquet of flowers. The authentically detailed LEGO® Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet (10342) set includes 15 buildable flower stems, including cymbidium orchids, pink roses, a dahlia, eucalyptus, daisies and more. This set makes a happy display on its own, or can be combined with other flowers from the LEGO Botanicals collection for a truly unique arrangement.

Anniversary Flowers

There’s a system for wedding anniversary flowers based on the number of years you’ve been together:

• 1 year: carnations
• 2 years: cosmos
• 3 years: sunflowers
• 4 years: geraniums
• 5 years: daisies
• 10 years: daffodils
• 15 years: roses
• 20 years: asters
• 25 years: irises
• 30 years: lilies
• 40 years: gladioli
• 50 years: yellow roses or violets

But what do you do if you’ve been married for 7 years? Or 36? Don’t worry – a pink and white anniversary orchid is always a good option as it symbolises love and thoughtfulness. The LEGO® Orchid (10311) set includes a combination of buildable stems, blooms, roots and leaves, plus a blue fluted vase with brown LEGO elements to recreate the bark mix that a real orchid would grow in – perfect for displaying as a symbol of your everlasting love.

Graduation Flowers

While there are no specific graduation flowers, there are some you could choose based on their meaning. Irises and lavender bring wisdom and knowledge, daisies symbolise new beginnings, and orchids represent accomplishment.

The LEGO® Mini Orchid (10343) makes a wonderful gift for a recent graduate. This stunning set features a spray of five peach orchid flowers in bloom, a few in bud and four green leaves for an authentic display. This orchid will never wilt in its stylish brick-built terracotta pot and wooden plinth, creating a beautiful all-year-round décor piece.

Date Flowers

It’s a classic scene from a film: showing up for a first date and ringing the doorbell as you stand there with a bouquet of flowers. The LEGO® Wildflower Bouquet (10313) set features a lovely collection of cornflowers, lavender, Welsh poppies, gerbera daisies, lupins and more – sure to impress any flower lover!

Winter Flowers

The festive season has flowers full of meaning. Red poinsettias, amaryllis and plum blossoms are most often associated with Christmas. Each symbolises good cheer and wishes for success for the season.

The LEGO® Plum Blossom (10369) elegantly captures the beauty of this iconic winter flower with its woody stem and vibrant red and magenta blossoms. Set in a pastel-blue flowerpot with a golden band and a wood-effect plinth, this set is easy to assemble and provides a rewarding building experience, making it a lovely, low-maintenance display for both home and office.

Mother’s Day Flowers

If you’re looking for Mother’s Day flowers (or you just want to get your mother something nice), the LEGO® Flower Arrangement (10345) offers a creative twist on a classic gift, featuring 14 different flowers displayed in a white chalice vase crafted from intricate LEGO bricks and elements. Adult builders and flower enthusiasts can enjoy assembling and identifying blooms inspired by camellias, peonies, hydrangeas and more, with the flexibility to remove and rearrange the flower heads to create a custom display that fits their style.

Valentine’s Day Flowers

A bouquet of roses is a staple on Valentine’s Day, and red ones symbolise your passionate love for each other.

This LEGO® Bouquet of Roses (10328) delights builders with its dozen red roses, featuring four in full bloom, four blooming and four in bud, along with long green stems for vase display and four sprigs of baby’s breath with small white flowers. This set is easy to assemble and can be combined with other LEGO Botanicals collection sets for a sophisticated display.
