The LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus provides the opportunity to recreate your own cactus plants with bright and budding flowers on top. This includes one cactus with a fully bloomed flower on top and a slightly smaller second cactus with buds at various stages of growth.

The building set also comes with a pastel blue plant pot to house the cacti, which allows the set to be easily placed on any shelf or desk you like. Coming with a generous 482 pieces, the LEGO set stands as high as 16cm tall for the tallest cactus.

If you want something a little different, you could opt for the HOGOKIDS Flowers Bouquet Building Set with lights, which is available on Amazon for £14.99. This flower set features nine crimson roses, four yellow roses, and three baby’s breath sprigs and comes with LEG strips to bring them to life.

Otherwise, you could snap up the TYCOLE Bird of Paradise Building Set, which is available on Amazon for £27.99. This flower set comes with three vivid tropical flowers and adjustable stems to let the display piece stand however you like.

Shoppers who already grabbed the LEGO Botanicals Flowering Cactus awarded it a perfect 5-star rating at Argos, with one happy customer writig: “Very cute, matches my other LEGO botanicals perfectly!” Another added: “Brought this for my partner as we can’t get flowers and she loves them trying to get more for her.”

A third said: “We usually are unable to keep any plant alive, so this is a great build and realistic.” A fourth added: “Such a lovely Lego set, so nice to build it and display it, so beautiful cactus flowers.”

While a fifth said: “Bought for my 11-year-old daughter who loved it, enjoyed building it, and now is proudly displaying it in our living room. It is small, but perfectly formed.”

A sixth added: “A great set not only for ages 9+ but also 42+ because I had a blast. There are a lot of small parts in this set, but that only added to the fun of assembling the cactus. I recommend it because it looks great, it’s cute.”

However, one other customer noted: “Really enjoyed the build of the flowers, not quite as impressed with the base (it’s almost like LEGO is boosting the piece count to demonstrate value for money). But it’s colourful and cute.”

Another added: “Easy to build, however, quite repetitive building steps. Looks good when finished.”
