Don’t be surprised if you see a pot of unexpected flowers on a lot of Christmas tables this year.

The new Lego Icons Poinsettia set is the latest entry in the toy company’s surprising bid to dominate the artificial flower market. The kit has 608 pieces that create a bouquet of poinsettias in a woven basket pot. The vibrant red plastic flowers will become a conversation piece in your holiday decor display that never loses its bloom.

It’s already a best-seller at Amazon, where you can get the cozy little set for $50.

This decorative set joins Lego’s Thanksgiving centerpiece of realistic-looking dried flowers as one you’d be proud to put out when you have guests during the holidays. On a personal note: My wife will be happy she can finally put out a pot of poinsettias at Christmas without worrying they will make our cat sick.

The finished product stands 8 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide when the dark green leaves are fanned out and features five blooming flowers of various sizes.

Like all the Lego Botanical Collection kits, this one is recommended for builders ages 18 and up, but that’s more to appeal to adult shoppers than to reflect the difficulty of putting them together. My 6-year-old son has built four different Lego flower sets over the past couple of years — all recommended for adult builders — and had no trouble with any of them.

You can see just how lively the poinsettia’s colors are from the buyer images at Amazon. There aren’t a ton of reviews yet since the set just dropped but the ones there are stellar (as usual with a Lego kit).

“Fun to put together and it will be a cute addition to the Christmas decorations,” wrote one of the early adopters. Another person who said they own many of the Lego Botanical Collection sets said, “This did not disappoint. I love poinsettias, but I hate how they don't last very long and you have to buy new ones every year.”

In addition to the newest Lego flowers, the brand has a couple more decorations you can build and add to your setup this holiday season, including an adorable 11-inch Lego Christmas tree and a 9-inch-wide Lego wreath with a bold red bow.
