Hi all, I am wondering if all of you botanical fans would be interested in purchasing a Vase Set? The vases that I make and use, I am considering selling as a set….each would be a similar build with the base being varied on some.

Is that something, people would be interested in purchasing?

I am gearing up to sell some of my creations and would love to hear what the community is most interested in. What would make your botanical collection even more fun? Thank you! 🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷🪻🌹🍄🐝

😍 Two new things to present: here is the other color that these vase pieces are available in, through pick a brick.😍😍😍 and this is my first successful attempt at making an actual centerpiece. There is no front and back like most arrangements. A true 360degree arrangement. I honestly didn’t know if I could do it in these vases, so woohoo!!

Actually, there are three things. This is also a view of the peach rose hack, I have seen in a bunch of places. In fact I think some clever soul demonstrated it here in the legoflowers sub. You simply flip the petals over, so they look like a rose in bloom. Gives them great volume.

White and blue are your color choices for this base on pick a brick. Even though the yellow is so great at least LEGO gave us two great alternatives. 😍 🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷🪻🌹🍄🐝

These are one of my favorite flowers. The Night Rider Camellia from set 10354. I think they get a bit lost in the original set.

If you can’t get your hands on the yellow base pieces, white is available through pick a brick. I’ll show off the other color available later this week. 😍🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷🪻🍄🐝

The limitations created by the petite size of this vase make arrangements, in many ways, easier to create. I also love the variety of ways to build out the base. I adore the variety of daisies that LEGO has done. I think they are one of the sweetest simple flowers. 🥹🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷🪻🍄🐝

U/RangerBumble gets all the credit for the latest addition and edit to the fall stalks arrangement. 🙏🙌🙌😎 Thank you!

I am over the moon at how well the cattails turned out. They fill in and offer great texture and shape to the arrangement. Super simple build and 😍😍😍

Another creative soul suggested Pampas grass! Love the suggestion, gonna take some time to figure out that build…

Happy fall y’all!! 🌹🌼💐🪷🌷🌺🌸🪻🌻🍄🐝

I just had to do something with these flowers I modified and I love the drama! I love that the colors are not particularly dramatic but the blooms will not be ignored! 😍

I wanted to try the chicken wire hack (I found a white plastic version) I have seen all over the place and in conjunction with the glass rocks, it’s pretty stable. Camouflaging correctly in glass containers is the last tweak I need to figure out and I think it’s the best stabilizing system, yet.

These bigger blooms demand a larger and more stable container than my MOC vases. 🌹🪷🌷🌺🌸🪻🌻🍄🐝

I wish they had done the red rose bouquet in this darker color from the Dark Flower Arrangement set. Something about that deep red feels richer in tone and realism. No hate to the rose sets! I have both. I just realized I love working with this darker color.

I love fall, colors are somehow softer and richer all at the same time. 🌹🌻💐🌷🪻🌸🌸🌺🌼🪷🍄🐝

Apparently I am going to do an entire series of arrangements in these MOC vases. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Starting to head towards the darker fall & winter tones. My favorite seasons. 🥰🌹🌸💐🌼🌻🌷🌺🪷🪻🍄🐝

Thanks so much everyone for your opinions and options for the pussy willow build. Here are my final personal choices. I liked both so much, I am going to keep them both as options. I love the idea of the green studs for spring and red/brown for fall/winter.

I also think I like my white version slightly better than LEGO’s green version. 🤷🏻‍♀️ For some reason the most realistic version was my ultimate preference.

Here is the final designs I settled on for the varieties. It will be fun in the spring to try and come up with blooming stalks?????🤷🏻‍♀️🌹🌼🌸💐🪷🌺🌷🌻🪻🍄🐝

The possibilities are endless on the design of the base of this vase but I think I finally achieved the silhouette, I wanted with this one. Sadly LEGO retired these colors in the balloon pieces. 😢

My first arrangement in the new vessel and I love the increased space and stability at the top. I am also still obsessed with the Cosmos flowers. Such sweetness in a world in need of as much sweetness as possible. 🌹🌼🌸💐🪷🌺🌷🌻🪻🍄🐝

I’ve been toying and working on this vase idea for awhile now. It takes me a long time to work some things out but I think it is shaping up quite nicely.

Went a little crazy on the base-art deco style. 🌸🌷🌻🌼🪷🌹🌺🪻🍄🐝

Every framed display I have seen has put the plants behind the glass. I decided to put them in front of the glass….window.

I love the mini plant set but have always been at a loss on how to display them properly. They get overshadowed by the larger sets. It also makes me sad you can’t really leave LEGO botanicals near windows, like you would with real plants.

Originally, I was going to remove the glass altogether, like my insect displays but this 10x10 shadow box of course has glass that is mounted in place. So, it forced me to rethink it and this annoying challenge turned out better than I could have imagined. 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷🪻🍄🐝

Thanks everyone. It will be interesting to see if the tides turn. Green is definitely winning. Of course leave it to the creative minds of AFOL’s to come up with mix the two.

So, because there were so many requests for a mix of the two, here we are.

I know what I have settled on, but let me know, what you all think with the 3rd option in the mix. So, fun! 🌺🌻🌼🌹🌷🌸🪷🍄🐝

So as I was saying, a bit obsessed with the Pussy Willows and I always knew them to be fuzzy white.

So I decided to make some and can’t decide on the base stud color.

Which is better pale bright green or reddish brown?

I have been obsessed with the pussy willow ever since I saw set #40588. I have been toying with making them life sized or super sized. Finally hunted down and gathered the parts.

Hence, my fall arrangement is comprised of super sized stalks. 🌻🌺🌷🌼🪷🌸🌹🍄🐝

I 💕 the Cosmos flowers. They are so versatile and so sweet.

After the last couple of more complex arrangements I wanted to try a round of simple and understated. So much fun! 🌻🪷🌼🌷🌺🌸🌹🍄🐝

Orchid cleaning day led to this. The usual dusting of the orchid just wasn’t cutting it. So, down it comes to be picked apart and cleaned thoroughly. Doesn’t happen often but sometimes the dust is just too thick.

One thing leads to another and I realize I rarely make arrangements using my potted LEGO blooms. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Proportions and not over doing it was the challenge with this one. 🌸🪻🌺🌻🪷🌷🌼🌹🍄🐝

So, u/CathyLouFhtagn has got me all kinds of excited for next year’s LEGO botanical releases and inspired me. Thank you!

The rumor is one of the sets next year is Ikebana aka “Legobana” style. 🤩🤯🤩

Wonderful u/obbitz introduced me to the concept, I’d never heard of. Anyway, I became inspired to do another Legobana inspired arrangement. I have been dying to make something in this pot and here it is. 🌺🌸🌷🌹🪻🪷🌻🌼🍄🐝

Edit: I want to give credit where it is due. The clever & talented u/obbitz was also the one that coined “Legobana”

I just couldn’t take my ivy plant apart after my flower box displays and so found it a permanent home as part of my decor.

I want to make it longer so it hangs all the way down the side. Gives this wall the pop of color it needed.

LEGO botanicals! Why do I love thee so??? 🤷🏻‍♀️🌷🌹🪻🪷🌻🌼🍄🐝
