Colourful LEGO flower arrangement with various flower designs, including pink, purple, and blue flowers, showcasing creativity and playfulness.

Having used up all of my available bench space last year to display my Botanical sets – gaining respite only by packing them up during the course of some renovations. I’m sure they will come back someday. that said, to take stress of the benches, the LEGO Engagement team kindly sent over a copy of their Flower Wall to check out. Now the idea of a lattice with a collection of flowers designed to be attached on the wall is appealing. And the system is designed to be expandable by attaching multiple lattices together – and don’t just decorate them with the included flowers, but also add in those from another set. To encourage this creativity, they actually sent me two copies of the set to play with. But more on that soon.

The set has 879 pieces and is priced at priced at AUD149.99 / 89.99 USD / 89.99 EUR / 79.99 GBP, the 11503 Flower wall is due for release on February 1 2026.

The set comes with 9 numbered bags, and an instruction book which gave a quick run over the flowers depicted in the set.

Sorry about the interruption to this series: Our local major event intervened. Brickvention 2026 was great fun, and just a little bit exhausting. Today, we complete our reviews of the January 2026 Botanicals releases, and present the final installment of our interview with Senior Designer Theo Bonner, in which we take a moment to discuss the pink roses bouquet, and why it wasn’t just a clone of the red roses; see what made a collection of designers get up and take a look at what their colleague had achieved, and ponder whether the Botanicals sets just don’t feature enough Spinjitsu. Or do they?

Then we will take a closer look at the Flowering Cactus, another of the 2026 Botanical selection. This set has 482 parts and is aimed at builders aged 9 and up. It is priced at $AUD99.99 / $USD49.99 / 59.99 € / £54.99.
