LEGO is giving its smaller flower lineup a fresh makeover with the Roses (40460), Sunflowers (40524), and Cherry Blossoms (40725) now officially re-released under the LEGO Botanicals packaging. It’s not about new builds or secret pieces this time, just a classy wardrobe change that brings these favorites in line with the elegant, dark-toned boxes seen on larger sets like the Petite Sunny Bouquet (10347) and Happy Plants (10349).
This update might sound small, but for collectors and display fans, it’s a satisfying touch. The dark packaging instantly ties these mini sets to the rest of the Botanicals family, making them look more premium and display-ready. It’s especially great for gift-givers who love the uniform look of the newer Botanical sets without the visual clash of bright yellow boxes.
So while the flowers themselves haven’t changed, the presentation definitely has, and it’s giving grown-up LEGO fans a reason to revisit these classics just for the box art alone.

What’s New in This Re-Release
At first glance, the Roses, Sunflowers, and Cherry Blossoms might look the same as before, but LEGO quietly gave them a design glow up. The most noticeable difference is the dark, minimalistic packaging that now matches the rest of the LEGO Botanical Collection lineup. The clean black background, soft floral outlines, and subtle pops of color make the boxes feel more like modern decor pieces than toy sets.
Each box features color coded accents that match the flower inside, adding a touch of polish to the overall look. It’s a small change, but one that makes a big difference on a display shelf. Whether you’re stacking your boxes or gifting them to another AFOL, the consistent branding now makes the whole collection look cohesive.
LEGO hasn’t confirmed any part or color changes, so what you’re getting is the same build experience, just dressed up in fancier packaging. It’s less about redesigning the sets and more about giving the smaller flower builds the same premium presentation as their larger bouquet counterparts.
The Sets Included
LEGO Roses (40460) – 120 pieces
The LEGO Roses (40460) set includes two adjustable brick built roses, each with long stems and layered petals that look perfect on their own or added into a larger bouquet. The updated version now comes in elegant deep red Botanical Collection packaging, replacing the older light pink and bright yellow box. It’s a small change that makes the set feel more in line with the premium flower lineup and ideal for gifting.
LEGO Sunflowers (40524) – 191 pieces
The LEGO Sunflowers (40524) are back and brighter than ever, featuring two cheerful yellow blooms that can be displayed individually or combined with other flower sets. The biggest difference here is the new dark green Botanicals style box, which replaces the playful light blue and bright yellow packaging. For collectors, this refresh helps the Sunflowers blend seamlessly next to sets like the Petite Sunny Bouquet (10347) or Happy Plants (10349) on display.
LEGO Cherry Blossoms (40725) – 430 pieces
The LEGO Cherry Blossoms (40725) set features two delicate branches with soft pink and white petals, designed to rest in a vase or as part of a floral arrangement. The new deep blue Botanical Collection box gives it a more sophisticated look that feels right at home next to LEGO’s larger floral displays. With over 400 pieces, it’s one of the more detailed smaller flower sets and a favorite among builders who love intricate petal work.
A Fun Twist: The Daffodils Did the Opposite
In a funny twist, the LEGO Daffodils went in the completely opposite direction. When LEGO first released the Daffodils (40646), it came in the same elegant dark packaging as the rest of the Botanical Collection, matching the look of larger sets like the Petite Sunny Bouquet (10347) and Happy Plants (10349).
But the newer Daffodils (40747) decided to trade that sleek, premium design for light green and bright yellow box art instead. The updated version fits more with the smaller, kid friendly flower sets rather than the adult oriented Botanicals line. It’s an interesting flip, especially now that the Roses, Sunflowers, and Cherry Blossoms have moved up into the more elegant packaging while the Daffodils stepped back into the classic style.
This swap highlights LEGO’s flexible approach to presentation. While some flowers are being “promoted” into the Botanical Collection aesthetic, others are being adjusted to stand out more on store shelves. It keeps the flower lineup fresh and gives collectors another fun detail to notice between releases.
Why LEGO Made the Change
LEGO’s decision to refresh the packaging for these smaller flower sets comes down to consistency and branding. Over the past few years, the LEGO Botanical Collection has grown into one of the most recognizable adult lines in the LEGO catalog. With sleek boxes, calming themes, and display worthy builds, it attracts both long time builders and people who simply want something stylish for their home.
By giving the Roses (40460), Sunflowers (40524), and Cherry Blossoms (40725) the same dark, elegant packaging as the larger sets, LEGO is making it easier for buyers to recognize them as part of one cohesive collection. It also helps gift givers spot the right sets faster since the black boxes now clearly signal that these are part of the adult Botanical series.
This update likely ties into LEGO’s broader 2026 refresh, where the company seems focused on tightening up its themes visually across shelves. It’s a smart move that not only appeals to collectors but also strengthens the identity of the LEGO Botanicals brand for years to come.
Availability
The refreshed LEGO Roses (40460), Sunflowers (40524), and Cherry Blossoms (40725) are expected to launch in early 2026 through LEGO.com and official retailers. Prices are expected to stay the same as the current versions, keeping these sets affordable entry points for anyone new to the LEGO Botanical Collection.
While LEGO has not confirmed an exact release date yet, fans can expect these updated boxes to slowly replace the current yellow ones on store shelves as older stock sells out. Retailers often phase in the new packaging quietly, so it’s possible that both versions may appear side by side for a short time.
If you prefer the look of the yellow boxes, now is the time to grab them before they disappear. But if you’re all about a clean, unified shelf, waiting for the updated Botanical Collection packaging will be worth it. Either way, the builds themselves remain the same, timeless, relaxing, and easy to pair with larger bouquets or seasonal displays.
Final Thoughts
At first glance, this might look like a small change, but for collectors and display lovers, it means a lot. The re-release of the LEGO Roses (40460), Sunflowers (40524), and Cherry Blossoms (40725) under the Botanical Collection packaging gives these smaller sets a well-deserved upgrade in presentation. Now, they finally match the elegant look of the larger flower builds like the Petite Sunny Bouquet (10347) and Happy Plants (10349).
The new design also makes these sets easier to gift. The darker, more refined boxes make them feel like part of a premium collection rather than small side builds. For anyone who displays their LEGO boxes alongside their creations, the update creates a more cohesive and polished shelf.
And let’s be honest, it’s a little funny that while these flowers are moving into the fancy Botanical lineup, the Daffodils decided to take a step back into the bright yellow packaging world. It shows that LEGO is still experimenting with its flower lineup, finding the right balance between elegance and approachability. Either way, fans of LEGO Botanicals have plenty to look forward to in 2026.
