Amazing!
" I purchased both this set and the Bouquet, as I'm an avid plant lover. Of the two, the Bonsai is the definite winner! This set was so fun to make, took about the time I would expect to put together, and looks fabulous when completed! I decided to go with the cherry blossom look, as to me, it's more detailed and visually interesting. After completing this set I'm already on the hunt for more bricks to build other styles of bonsai to go along with this one. 10/10! "

The LEGO® Flower Bouquet (10280) building kit makes a unique gift or mindful project, creating a beautiful flower display model made entirely from LEGO pieces. Please note, a vase is not included. This flower bouquet delivers a vibrant display of colors and interesting shapes, inspired by real flowers such as roses, snapdragons, poppies, asters, daisies and grasses. Let your imagination bloom with customizable elements. Position the petals and leaves, then change the lengths of the stems to create wonderful arrangements for the home. Looking for the best gifts for birthdays, anniversaries or special occasions? The LEGO® Flower Bouquet set makes a special and unusual gift for friends, loved ones, or yourself, at any time of year. The stems come in a variety of lengths. As a guide, the ‘snapdragon’, with its straight stem, measures over 14 in. (36 cm) high. As the first ever LEGO® Flower Bouquet, this set includes a host of new colours and shapes that adult LEGO fans will love. The flowers are created from over 17 unusual LEGO® elements with realistic petal shapes and colours, to create an unexpected display that is sure to make people look twice. The LEGO® Flower Bouquet is part of the LEGO Botanical Collection. This revolutionary collection uses several elements made from a plant-based plastic, produced using sustainably sourced sugarcane. LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart easily every time – it’s been that way since 1958.

Beautiful set- a few suggestions for improvement!
" I was so very excited when the Botanicals Collection was released- this bouquet and the bonsai were instant purchases. This set was quite fun to make, and took less time than I had initially expected. An extra fun step is to style the bouquet once you're all finished- think of all the different vases for display!
My only issues with the set are some of the colour choices and the type of plants chosen to fill out the bouquet. Why are the roses "peach" toned? It really clashes with the orange of the Poppy and the white of the Daisies, and would seem to make more sense if they were red, a darker purple (or any other colour really). As far as the "sprigs" and foliage to fill out the bouquet, it would have been nice to see a more complex or visually interesting design- of a fern, palm leaves, etc.
In future, I'd love to see a more tropical bouquet available- Birds of Paradise, Monstera leaves, Protea, Orchids, etc. Could be great for a greater difficulty level in the collection! "
