Plum Blossom (LEGO 10369)

About this set

This is LEGO 10369, a plum blossom build from the LEGO Botanical Collection with a part count of 327 and a 5/5 difficulty rating, making it one of the tougher entries in the flower range. The finished model is a plum blossom in a blue pot on a wooden base, and the palette includes red, brown, blue, gold and purple, with red and gold on the blossoms while the blue pot and brown base anchor the whole thing. For the build, sort the branches and flower clusters separately, assemble the pot and base first, then attach the main trunk and side branches before pressing on the blooms; the hard part is lining up the branch junctions and getting the flowers to face the right way, so expect some readjusting. Position the branches fully before adding flowers. It suits builders who have done the simpler botanical sets and want a more involved display piece.
