In a shocking twist that has florists worldwide clutching their pruning shears, romantic souls are ditching traditional roses for something a bit more… plastic. The LEGO Group’s Botanical Collection is becoming the go-to Valentine’s Day gift for couples who want their love to literally last forever.
“Who needs real flowers that die in a week when you can have an eternal bouquet of brick-built blooms?” says relationship expert Dr. Jane Smith.
Leading the plastic petal revolution is LEGO’s stunning Bouquet of Roses, priced at a wallet-friendly $59.99, featuring 822 pieces of undying devotion . For those looking to really impress, the show-stopping Flower Arrangement set boasts a whopping 1,161 pieces at $109.99, perfect for when you want to say “I love you” with a side of “I also enjoy spending hours following instructions”.
The trend has sparked a new romantic catchphrase: “Real flowers wilt, but LEGO flowers tilt.” And with adjustable stems, leaves, and petals, these botanical beauties can be arranged and rearranged until your significant other is satisfied – or until your fingers give out.
For the commitment-phobes, there’s even a range of smaller options, including the adorable Mini Orchid at $29.99 – because nothing says “let’s take it slow” like a tiny plastic plant.
The best part? These blooms require zero maintenance, no watering, and are perfectly safe for plant-murderers with black thumbs. Just remember to warn your Valentine that stepping on their romantic gesture in the middle of the night might be significantly more painful than stepping on rose petals.
