Forget cramped shelves; this set, and others in the Botanical Collection, are designed for display. Imagine it adorning a windowsill or serving as a captivating centerpiece.

The Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet is divided into six numbered bags, plus a seventh containing long stems. No stickers or printed tiles are included, only high-quality bricks and a printed instruction booklet. LEGO also provides digital instructions, allowing for interactive building, making the process more accessible for all skill levels.

Each bag focuses on a different flower: daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a waterlily dahlia, and a campanula. The instruction booklet includes fascinating descriptions of each flower (in English, French, and Spanish), enhancing the building experience with botanical education.

For example, the description for *Cymbidium* orchids reads: "*Cymbidium* orchids are documented in records from Confucius' time, around 500 BCE, making them the oldest known cultivated orchid species."

And the waterlily dahlia: "Symbols of elegance and grace, the decorative waterlily dahlia blossoms unfold like a luxurious firework display."

Unlike traditional LEGO sets relying on interlocking tubes, the flowers utilize hinges. This creates a delicate, petal-like effect, requiring careful attention to petal placement and orientation. The process is engaging and might introduce you to new building techniques.

Building the roses, for instance, involved folding petals in an overlapping pattern, requiring precise spacing and orientation to prevent overlapping. Incorrect petal placement can lead to cascading errors, demanding careful attention to detail.

Unlike traditional LEGO builds with foundational structures, the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet is entirely aesthetic. Its fragility emphasizes its purpose: admiration, not play. This unconventional approach results in a breathtakingly beautiful creation.
