Very pretty, but feels like the build is going to be super repetitive.

That I hope it's out before Valentine's Day.

From the website is says "ships on 27 of January", so that should work

It does, I already got one waiting here for my SO on Valentine's Day

The question is: Do you gift it ready built or boxed?

Does the person you gift it to love the looks, the building or both?

I think it looks like a bunch of non-standard Lego pieces, which I’m not a fan of.

You would be surprised, the outer petals are some windscreen variant, I cant quite tell the second inner, but the inside looks like a mimifigure whip.

Ive assembled a couple of the botanical sets, the succulent and cactus ones have some very clever uses of standard pieces, I don't believe its often they introduce new ones

The Second inners are wheel wells/fenders, like the ones they use on the speed champions sets

Car wings for the bigger ones.

I have the bonsai from this range and the pink blossom petals are all frogs. It's delightful

The bonsai set is great, I still need to put it together. Maybe for the upcoming CNY!

I just built this set the other day! It looks really nice, and there are some really cool pieces being used (like the minifig whips used as the center petals). It is a little repetitive because you're building multiples of each rose type, but they at least have a few variations so it's not just the same thing the entire build.
