Chrysanthemum

The chrysanthemum, known for its layered petals and vibrant colours, has been cultivated for over 2,500 years and holds deep cultural significance across many societies. This 278-piece building set recreates the distinctive flower with remarkable botanical accuracy, featuring posable leaves and petals that capture different stages of bloom.

The set includes components to build a complete chrysanthemum plant displaying vivid orange flowers in various developmental phases. One flower appears in full bloom, showcasing the characteristic dense petal formation, while one shows the blossoming stage and two remain as unopened buds. Each element can be positioned individually, allowing for natural-looking arrangements.

Build and Display

The chrysanthemum sits in a pastel-green flowerpot accented with a golden band, mounted on a wood-effect plinth that elevates the display. The finished model measures 26 cm high, 10 cm wide and 9 cm deep, making it suitable for desks, shelves, or side tables. All petals and leaves feature posable joints for customised positioning.

This set forms part of the LEGO Botanical Collection, designed specifically for adult builders seeking detailed, display-worthy models. Unlike real chrysanthemums, this version requires no watering, pruning, or seasonal care while providing the same decorative impact year-round.
