Valentine's Day is just around the corner. If you have someone special in your life, you could always go the classic route with a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. But for a gift that stands out, consider this LEGO set: the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet – a vibrant arrangement that never needs water, just some assembly time and a vase to display it.

This bouquet is part of the broader Botanical Collection, which LEGO introduced in 2021 as part of its lifestyle-focused rebranding. As LEGO's popularity among adults has grown, the company has developed creative ways to incorporate sets into everyday living spaces.

Instead of keeping sets on storage shelves or struggling to find room on already crowded desks, adult LEGO fans can now display them on the wall. With the Botanical Collection's flowers and plants, they also work beautifully on windowsills or as table centerpieces.
The Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet includes six numbered bags, plus a seventh bag containing long rods for stems. There are no stickers or printed tiles, and instructions come in a printed booklet.
LEGO has encouraged builders—particularly for these crossover sets—to use the digital instructions available online. These allow you to rotate and zoom in on the model, offering a more interactive building experience. If you're new to adult-focused LEGO sets or unsure about gifting this for Valentine’s Day, know that the digital guide makes the process more approachable.
Each bag corresponds to a different flower variety. This set features daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a waterlily dahlia, and a campanula. The instruction booklet includes a short description of each flower (in English, French, and Spanish), so you learn a bit about them as you build. Below is the description for Cymbidium, often called the boat orchid:
"Cymbidium orchids are documented in records from Confucius' time, around 500 BCE, making them the oldest known cultivated orchid species."
Here is the description for Dahlia nymphaea, or the waterlily dahlia: "Symbols of elegance and grace, the decorative waterlily dahlia blossoms unfold like a luxurious firework display."
Most people associate LEGO with the interlocking studs that hold bricks together. However, these flowers are built using hinges–individual pieces snap together at a single point, forming petals that extend naturally from the center. Sometimes you layer petals at varying heights; other times you angle them to create a lush, dimensional effect. I encountered building methods I'd never used before, which was a delightful surprise despite my long-time love for LEGO.
"I ended up using techniques I had never tried in any previous set.“
Let me give a couple of examples. To form the rose’s iconic look, I had to fold its petals upward in an overlapping design. This required careful planning—positioning each petal with staggered placement so they wouldn’t collide when folded. Achieving the right spacing took some experimentation in a medium that usually demands precision.
You may also run into other challenges. For instance, placing one petal backward instead of forward can trigger a chain reaction. Several steps later, the flower won’t align, and you’ll have to backtrack. This happened to me more than once, so pay close attention. Each petal’s orientation is just as important as its position.
In a typical LEGO build—be it a car, spaceship, or building—you start with the foundation and internal structure before adding finishing touches like curved parts, colored plates, and decorative tiles.
By contrast, the Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet has no underlying framework. It’s a straightforward “what you see is what you get” creation. While traditional sets mix structural and cosmetic pieces, here nearly every part is decorative. As a result, the finished bouquet is quite delicate. It’s not meant for play; it’s designed to be admired visually, not handled.
In terms of practical design, this is LEGO at its most ornamental—but that’s not a downside. The sheer beauty, achieved in a way no other medium allows, makes the trade-off worthwhile.
LEGO Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet, Set #10342, retails for $59.99 and contains 749 pieces. It’s currently available at Amazon and the LEGO Store.
