Be prepared to get a little frustrated and know it is a little learning curve to get it right. It takes the right amount of pressure as to get it to stay on the limb and not crumble the whole flower. Connecting your completed flower to the stems was also a very delicate process. My suggestion is to swap the order found in the instruction manual and save the 3 white petals (step #63) for last. The connection pieces do not snap securely and as you attempt to complete each flower, your petals and other parts would pop apart and you would find yourself rebuilding. From steps 61-70, the last of the steps, it took a majority of my time to complete the build. This is definitely something I would recommend improving in the future, it makes it so much easier to find the pieces when they are organized in that manner. I had to open and look through all the bags to find the pieces I needed throughout the build. ![]() With that being said, however, the blocks were not organized by steps in the build process (like Lego does all their sets) and although while the bags seemed to be numbered, there was no correlation or reference to that in the instruction manual. ![]() When opening your JMBricklayer box, the blocks are separated into 7 bags for organization. Unlike Lego, within the Orchid option, you can choose Red (#20177), Blue (#20118) and the one chosen in this review- White (#20106). Just like the Lego options, the JMBricklayer Botanical Collection includes sets from flower bouquets to various succulent sizes and colors to choose from. Then the opportunity to review JMBricklayer‘s version for a fraction of the cost became available, I knew I had to see how it compared! ![]() ![]() However, when I saw how much my family spent on it, I knew I wouldn’t be purchasing the other flower options that I so wanted to try out. From building it to displaying it, I really do love this set. This Christmas I was gifted my very first Lego set as an adult and it was the Lego Orchid set #10311.
