2024 really has been the year for LEGO and flowers as two more LEGO Icons Botanical Collection sets have been officially revealed for a 1st of October 2024 release. The second of these is 10370 Poinsettia which recreates a brand new plant of the Poinsettia, originally from Mexico, in brick-built LEGO form. 10370 will retail for $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 with a total of 608 pieces included.
The October 2024 model is a somewhat similar size to 10311 Orchid which includes the exact same piece count for that $50 price tag. However, the Poinsettia is a very different plant best known for its striking red leaves, although they can also be pink, white, or even yellow. Interestingly, these colourful parts aren't actually flowers—they're called "bracts," which are a type of leaf with the actual small yellow flowers being in the centre of the leaf.
Just like 10340 Holly Wreath which also releases on the 1st of October 2024, 10370 Poinsettia has a vague winter and Christmas theme. The plant is often used as decoration during this festive time even though it prefers warmer environments and plenty of sunlight. Its striking bright colour scheme however means the plant is perfect to display all year round and this has definitely been the case with the LEGO version.
The Poinsettia plant is nestled in a brick-built tan pot which is meant to represent a woven basket flowerpot. 10370 features 5 clusters of vibrant red leaves (bracts) with bright yellow cyathia at the centre. This looks even more colourful when its surrounded by some large, dark green leaves that complete the realistic look of the $50 18+ model.
