The Four Gentlemen of Flowers are officially complete, scheduled for release on January 1, 2025, with a suggested retail price of US$29.99 each.
This "Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum" Botanical Collection, co-created by Taiwanese LEGO fan "ZiO Creation", is presented in the form of plants + pots. Crafted with approximately 274 to 327 pieces, it creates beautiful and romantically poetic floral models.

First, let's look at the orchid, which represents spring and symbolizes new beginnings. This set features five blooming mini orchids and several buds. In addition to shaping natural and lifelike curved angles, it also includes large leaves for added realism. The flowers, created by stacking pieces front and back, are also very charming. The pot features a light-colored terracotta pot visual effect, paired with a wooden-style base below, truly becoming more beautiful the more you look at it.
LEGO 10344 Lucky Bamboo
Suggested Retail Price: US$29.99, Total Pieces: 325, Estimated Release Date: January 1, 2025
Next up is the Lucky Bamboo, a symbol of summer believed to bring good fortune. Once assembled, it stands approximately 29 cm tall. The upright, leafy bamboo stalks vary in height, and while the overall design is not overly complex, it is rich in layers. Even better, the tops of the bamboo stalks feature printed pieces that show texture, combined with very lifelike gray pebbles and a rounded pot, creating an excellent visual effect.
