Hibiscus (LEGO 10372)

About this set

Part of the LEGO Botanical Collection, set 10372 is a hibiscus build with 660 pieces and a 5/5 difficulty rating, putting it on the tougher end of the botanical line. The finished model is a forked branch carrying open blooms, closed buds and plenty of leaves, with purple, magenta, yellow, green, brown and dark blue in the mix; the dark blue shows up around the pot, giving the colour scheme more depth than a single-stem flower. A sensible build order is to lock the pot and main stem together first, then work outward along the forked branches adding leaves and buds, and save the layered flower heads for last. The tricky parts are lining up the repeated petals and clipping in the small buds, so this one suits builders who have already done a basic bouquet and want a more involved branch structure. With leaves and buds eating up a lot of the 660 pieces, it rewards anyone happy to sort by colour and work through the steps steadily. The box also carries a QR code and a sustainable-packaging graphic.
