I’ve hand-picked the best Lego Botanicals sets for Mother’s Day, from spiky succulents to cheerful sunflowers

Mother’s Day is just over a week away — this year’s US event is on Sunday 10 May — and now’s the time to get your gift sorted. While a bouquet of fresh flowers probably isn’t going to lead to any complaints, even better is a bunch of blooms that’ll never wilt. I’m talking about Lego Botanicals.

I’m convinced Lego flowers are the perfect Mother’s Day present. No need to dig out a vase or remember to replace the water, and they last forever. Plus, building them is a fun joint activity if you’re spending the day with your mom. Lego’s floral collection has bloomed to include plants of all kinds, from cheerful sunflowers to majestic orchids, spiky succulents and vibrant wildflowers. So the chances are, your mom’s favorites are included somewhere.
