With Valentine's Day on the horizon, it's the perfect time to consider a unique gift for your special someone. While traditional gifts like candy and flowers are always appreciated, why not think outside the box with the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet LEGO set? This charming set requires no watering—just your time to assemble and a vase to display it in, making it a lasting and interactive gift.

LEGO Botanicals Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet

Priced at $59.99, you can find this delightful set at both Amazon and the LEGO Store. As part of the Botanical Collection, which debuted in 2021 during LEGO's lifestyle rebranding, this set reflects LEGO's innovative approach to integrating their creations into adult living spaces.

We Build The LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet

Gone are the days of relegating LEGO sets to storage or struggling to find space on desks and tables. Adult LEGO enthusiasts can now hang them on the wall or, in the case of the Botanical Collection, use them as elegant centerpieces or adorn window sills. The Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet comes divided into six bags, plus an extra seventh bag containing long rods for the flower stems. The set includes a printed instruction booklet and no stickers or printed tiles.

LEGO encourages builders to explore digital instructions online, which provide an interactive experience with the ability to rotate and zoom in on the builds. This feature makes the hobby more accessible, particularly for those new to adult LEGO or those hesitant about the set's complexity as a Valentine's Day gift.

Each bag of the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet corresponds to a variety of flowers, including daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a waterlily dahlia, and a campanula. The instruction booklet includes brief descriptions of each flower in English, French, and Spanish, adding an educational element to the build. For instance, the description of 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 traditional LEGO builds that rely on interlocking bricks, the flowers in this set are constructed using hinges, creating a realistic petal extension effect. Building techniques here differ from the norm, offering a fresh challenge even for seasoned LEGO fans. For example, constructing a rose involves folding petals upward in an overlapping pattern, requiring careful planning to ensure proper spacing and alignment.

Attention to detail is crucial; misplacing a single petal can lead to misalignment several steps later, necessitating a redo. The absence of a foundational structure in this set means the final product is purely aesthetic and quite fragile, designed more for display than for play.

While the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet may be considered impractical due to its delicate nature, its beauty is undeniable and well worth the unique building experience it offers. The set, numbered #10342, consists of 749 pieces and is available now at Amazon and the LEGO Store.
