In the middle ages castles were almost always in the wilderness, so plants would seem like a nessity.
God speed

Yes, they deffinatily need more plants and foliage. I was lucky when I went to LEGOLand: I picked up about 10 pines !

LEGO world had some ecological problems, and all the plants died...
Thats why the minifigs stopped breathing and turned from a healthy yellow into those sickly flesh colors.

Hehe. Yeah, it happened because the minifigs unbalanced the world by doing nothing but fighting.JPinoy wrote:LEGO world had some ecological problems, and all the plants died...

I've noticed some ivy decorations oN the walls of upcoming castle, very nice touch indeed, but I must dig this one up, cause I'm still screaming for change:
DEAR LEGO PLEASE BRING BACK SOME FLORA IN OUR KINGDOMS!!

Re: What happend with plants?
The castle sets aren't completely without plants.. Trolls mountain fortress has some dangling from the battlements and the drawbridge had a few plants. But most of the plants seem to come in other themes or in the advent calendars.
Pirates have a few different sized trees. If you need some fruit trees there's always the red sports car which has a tree added to the set for no real reason. The winter toy shop had 4 pine trees and a brick built one. But most themes seem to have lost them.
It looks like plants and flowers have been replaced by more exciting objects.

Re: What happend with plants?
Plants and food are there a lot more than they were back in 2004, but I agree that it would be a nice touch to have more available.
They are popping up all over the City theme, and are here and there in a few Castle sets. Without a Forest(man) theme there has been little development of the flora and fauna of Castle. Since the retail assortment is always focused upon combat & conflict there seems little interest from an official line of sets with plants. I'd like to see that change, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
