10372: LEGO® Botanicals Hibiscus

ramblingbrick 18+, Botanical Collection, Lego, Review , , , , , , , ,
Close-up of the LEGO Botanicals 10372 Hibiscus set, featuring colorful flower petals in various stages of bloom, green leaves, and tan stems.

The LEGO® Botanicals theme has gone from strength to strength, and the latest wave brings us contrasting builds, proving interesting building experiences.

Today, let’s look at the Hibiscus: following in the footsteps of the Bird of Paradise and Orchid, it brings tropical beauty and colour while invoking some some interesting recolourings to produce a delightful display piece, perfect to distract you as winter settles in (I am writing this in July 2025, from Melbourne Australia, where the weather is a little cooler than we have been used to for some time.)

Let’s take a closer look. [This set was provided by the LEGO Group for review purposes. All opinions are my own.]

What Can We Learn From the Creator 3in1 31172 Record Player with Flowers?

ramblingbrick Creator, Lego, Review , , , , , , , , ,

I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love the LEGO® Creator 3in1 sets: they provide builders with great opportunities to learn about about evolving construction techniques, new elements, or even serve as reminders about established techniques that might be outside our regular repertoire.

Recently, there has been a trend to bring out creator 3in1 sets showcasing specific colours, while building real world objects, decorated with flowers. One of the latest releases, 31172, brings us the options of a record player, a radio and a microphone with vintage styling while highlighting a white and light royal blue, with different bunches of flowers.

This set has 366 pieces, and priced at $AUD39.99/ $USD29.99 /€29.99 /£24.99. It is now available now

Today, after looking at the elements included and the 3 models, we will take a look at some of the handy tips I picked up as I put the record player together. Some were new to me, some were reminders, and all will be useful to someone, I am sure. I’d love to know what you think.

Botanical Disney: 43237 Isabela’s Flowerpot

BrankotheFather Disney, Lego, Review , , , , , , , , ,

Today, Branko takes a look at another type of set featuring floral builds: a Disney Botanical set, specifically 43237: Isabela’s Flowerpot. This set was provided by the LEGO Group for review purposes at our request.

The LEGO Group have been releasing more and more variations of non-wilting flowers over recent years, kicking it into high gear with the Botanical Collection in 2021. We’re currently buzzing with excitement of the release of the 21353 LEGO Ideas Botanical Gardens (€329.99 / £289.99 / $329.99 / 429.99 CAD / 499.99 AUD), but today we would like to have a look at yet another botanical theme I would loosely call ‘Disney Flowerpots’ consisting of two sets to date:
43237 Isabela’s Flowerpot (AU$69.99/£39.99/$39.99/€44.99)
and 43252 Moana’s Flowerpot (AU$69.99/£39.99/$39.99/€44.99)

The set based on Moana was released a few months after Isabela suggesting that this may be an ongoing series of sets based on Disney characters. Today, we will explore Isabela’s Flowerpot to see what it offers to the ever-expanding field of botanical LEGO sets.

What Plant is That? Exploring Minifigure-Scale Flowers and the 21353 LEGO Ideas Botanical Gardens

ramblingbrick 18+, feature, Lego, Review , , , , , , , , ,

The new LEGO IDEAS set 21353 The Botanical Garden boasts over 3700 pieces, 12 minifigures as well as 4 birds and 4 other animals. But its main claim to fame is the fact that it includes 35 different species of plant. With some interesting recolours already available via the existing Botanicals Collection, I thought it might be worth scouring the images of the set, and matching up the flowers with a list provided by the LEGO Ambassadors Network.

Although… That list might not quite be complete…

This won’t be a comprehensive review, as I don’t actually have the set in my hands, rather a tour in search of the plants matching the description. Once we are done, we will take a quick review of floral elements appearing in minifigure scaled sets over the years.
