Building the LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet
The set, comprised of six bags (plus a seventh bag of stems), features 749 pieces, offering a satisfying build without stickers or printed tiles. Detailed instructions are included, and digital instructions are available online, allowing for easier navigation and a closer look at each step.
LEGO encourages the use of digital instructions, particularly helpful for beginners or those concerned about complexity. The build is broken down by flower type—daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a waterlily dahlia, and a campanula—with each stage accompanied by informative descriptions in English, French, and Spanish.
For example, the description 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.”
And the waterlily dahlia: "Symbols of elegance and grace, the decorative waterlily dahlia blossoms unfold like a luxurious firework display."
Unlike traditional LEGO builds relying on interlocking tubes, the flowers primarily utilize hinges, creating a delicate, petal-like effect. This involves layering and angling petals, requiring careful attention to spacing and orientation. Incorrect placement can lead to cascading errors, necessitating backtracking.
Unlike typical LEGO sets with foundational structures, the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet is entirely aesthetic. Its fragility emphasizes its purpose: admiration, not play.
This unconventional approach prioritizes beauty over practicality, resulting in a breathtakingly realistic and delicate floral arrangement.
LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet, Set #10342, retails for $59.99 and contains 749 pieces. Available now at Amazon and the LEGO Store.
