Love love love!
My two favorite hobbies are plants and lego, so this orchid was a perfect fit for me! The build was unique and there are some connections in this set that, even knowing the general idea of what I was building, still surprised me with their ingenuity. End product is exactly what I was hoping for, I love it so much! The only complaint I have is that the “bark” pieces are loose and just sort of tossed into the top of the pot at the end, similar to the soil around the bonsai tree set. It makes for a realistic aesthetic, but seems sort of out-of-place in regard to building with lego. Other than that, I’m in love and this set quickly made it to my top 5 faves!

Absolutely Awesome!
This is my absolute favourite 'Botanicals' set I've built so far! My highlights would be:
- The design for the pot is very unique, and isn't as boring to build as the one for the Bird of Paradise
- The Demogorgon heads redesigned as buds is neat! It would be nice if were 3-4 included (instead of 2) for some extra customization
- You can rearrange the blooms however you please
- The design for the "orchid medium" aka coco coir/fir bark is delightful. I was expecting round plates or tiles!
Overall, you can tell there was a lot of creative thought put into this sets design. I hope to see more like it in the future- hopefully more varieties of orchids too :)

True to Life
I have real orchids, so I especially love the accuracy of this build. With cascading flowers, proud leaves, and loose, rough-shaped “bark” it fits right in with the real thing! As a LEGO fan from way back, I love seeing unusual bricks used in fun ways; the construction of the smaller petals is ingenious. And of course, there are pink frogs. Loved them in the Bonsai tree, love them in this (though there aren’t nearly as many). This is my favorite of the botanical series so far! The technic aspects allow for personalization and “trimming” so it won’t always look the same.

Amazing looking display, very repetitious build
Been watching off-lego brand orchids on Amazon since I built the bonsai and flower bouquet. When this was announced, I pre-ordered immediately.
End product looks so realistic, however the build experience was very repetitive. 32 prisms, 4 cylinders, 16 technic beams, 6 flowers.
Regardless, I'd highly recommend getting this. It's better than the bonsai and flower bouquet and wayyy better than the bird of paradise.

A unique pice of LEGO
I love everything about this Orchid of lego. The build is enjoyable, and the final result is amazing. Very nice pice of display. LEGO did it again by engineering this pice of Art. Thank you Lego.

Elegant and Beautiful
I grew up with parents who collected various types of orchids as a hobby. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, I have never been able to keep one alive. When I saw this set I was in love and after building it I love it even more. Like the rest of the botanical line the innovation used to create the plants is fascinating. They really captured the elegance of orchid growth.

Beautiful!
I bought this for myself, and I’m so glad I did! It was easy to put together, it looks great, and I feel it was worth the money. Put together it’s about as tall as the box, and I love that you can reposition it. The box contains 4 bags, and I’ve included a photo after each bag was completed.

Just lovely
A slight challenge to build, but that's just part of the fun. This set (and really all of the botanical sets) brings a sophisticated playfullness to the space that is so hard to find anywhere else. I look forward to more builds like this from Lego.
*I added some of the pink flowers from the Bonsai set to the orchids
