Orchid is my favorite flower so when I saw this set, I knew I had to have it! I'm not a super experienced LEGO builder, but the 608 piece size sounded like a nice challenge for more of a beginner like me. It was fun to put together and took me three sessions to complete. The build was relaxing with some repetition, making it easy for me to tackle. I made a couple mistakes when building but I eventually realized them and was able to fix them as they weren't major mistakes. I would say just pay careful attention to the instructions and details and it all goes smoothly.

Starting with opening the box, there are four bags inside with two black sticks (don't know the official LEGO term) that aren't in any bag along with the instruction booklet. The booklet has a small intro about the set, its designer, and some orchid information before the build instructions begin. You begin with bag one, building the blue vase, which is the base of the build. The pieces here are really colorful, which surprised me, but eventually it's covered up with the light blue sloping pieces that form the ceramic looking outer vase. The blue vase pieces are from bag two.

Bag three is the stems and leaves, using the black sticks I mentioned earlier in my review. Due to how closely I had my head to the build and instructions, a couple times I came close to poking my eye with some of the stems, so be careful here if you're like me. Don't want any accidents!

The last bag, bag four, is the flowers. This was what I was looking forward to most as to me, the flowers themselves are the most visually appealing and striking, and they were fun to build. You then stick the flowers on and toss in some brown pieces for bark (with a couple pieces meant to be potting moss maybe?) to complete the set.

All finished, the LEGO orchid is gorgeous and very elegant, looking fairly realistic. It grabs your attention and is quite tall, allowing you to manipulate the leaves and flowers to make it more personalized or change it up. I took it into my office and on the first day, already received some compliments and comments about it. It would make a great gift and was enjoyable to build. Due to its size and beauty, it's a great value for the price and I'm happy with my purchase.

It was Mother's Day 2024 and I had yet to get a gift for my mom that year. I was truly lost as to what to do for my mom. Days before the actual day, she received orchids and said how much she appreciated them.

Her favorite flower is lavender tho... (Yes, I know my mom's favorite flower) So hearing her say this about the orchid surprised me.

I got on to Walmart , found this ON SALE (🫶) and got it delivered soon after. When she saw the gift, she got so excited I could hear her from the other room.

I have a few Legos sets that I have but not yet built. This was my way of finding an activity that my mom and I both like doing. I am super excited that she was as thrilled as I am about building Legos.

It is moments like these that make the Lego brand top tier. Everything about the design; aesthetic, and design is good quality. The entire Botanical series itself is amazing.

Overall, very happy with this specific Lego build and the memories it is allowing me to create with my mom.

This my first build and I found the experience reasonably satisfying. There was a lot of repetition which was helpful for a first time builder. .However the most challenging part was step 14. The tiles were difficult to secure but were in place after several attempts. They stayed there until step 94. When placing the blooms on the stem the central section became loose and started to collapse. I was faced with the prospect of dismantlement but eventually managed to re secure the 4 tiles. I feel there is a fundamental problem with this part of the design. It appears to be top heavy. It should not move out of position when the flowers are in place. I was also disappointed to find no instructions for the last step - the mulch. So they were just thrown on top!

Safety:Suitable for primary school children though it was stated for age 16+
Material:Original lego with less sharp edges. I suppose the material suitable for children to handles

My 1st impression is that this orchid Lego is very beautiful. I am not very good in handling real plants, hence this orchid Lego gave me a chance to have this orchid plant alike at home.

Secondly, my daughter loves Lego very much. So she volunteers to assemble this orchid Lego for mommy 🥰

Lastly impressed with the packaging as my Lego box is almost 99.99% or near perfect condition! Hopefully there is no missing items when my daughter starts to assemble this orchid lego. Fingers crossed 🤞
