With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you might be pondering the perfect gift for that special someone.

LEGO Botanicals Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet

Priced at $59.99, you can find this charming set at both Amazon and the LEGO Store. As part of LEGO's Botanical Collection, which was introduced during the company's lifestyle rebranding in 2021, these sets are designed to seamlessly blend into your home decor. With the rising popularity of LEGO among adults, these creations offer a new way to enhance your living space—whether it's hanging them on the wall or using them as eye-catching centerpieces.

We Build The LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet

The building process for the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet is an engaging journey. The set comes divided into six bags, plus a seventh bag containing long rods for the flower stems. There are no stickers or printed tiles, just a detailed printed instruction booklet to guide you through the assembly.

For those new to adult LEGO sets or feeling apprehensive about the complexity, LEGO offers digital instructions online. These allow you to rotate the builds and zoom in for a closer look, making the hobby more accessible.

Each bag corresponds to different types of flowers, including daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, waterlily dahlia, and campanula. The instruction booklet not only guides you through the build but also provides fascinating descriptions of each flower in English, French, and Spanish. For instance, the entry for the *Cymbidium* orchid reads, "Cymbidium orchids are documented in records from Confucius' time, around 500 BCE, making them the oldest known cultivated orchid species." Meanwhile, the waterlily dahlia is described as, "Symbols of elegance and grace, the decorative waterlily dahlia blossoms unfold like a luxurious firework display."

Unlike typical LEGO sets that rely on the traditional binding tube mechanisms, this set uses hinges to create the delicate appearance of petals extending from the flower's center. The building techniques required, such as folding petals in an overlapping pattern to create roses, introduce new challenges and pleasures. Achieving the right spacing and orientation of each petal is crucial, as even a single mistake can lead to a misaligned flower, requiring you to backtrack and correct it.

Traditional LEGO builds often start with foundational structures before adding detailed elements. In contrast, the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet is all about aesthetics with no underlying structure, making it incredibly delicate and purely for display. This unconventional approach showcases LEGO's creativity and adds to the set's charm.

The LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet, Set #10342, comprises 749 pieces and is available for purchase at Amazon and the LEGO Store.
