About this deal
More option though, and this construction does give us a bunch of hard-to-find bright yellow-green Technic connectors, so the trade offs are reasonable. Your mind doesn't count quick enough after 5 or 7 unless things are grouped such at you can quickly count. A single 2×2 jumper plate on the top/inside of the ‘cube’ with an added plant flower stem completes the tulip head. These sets present an affordable entry to the new botanical collection and look beautiful and realistic when placed in an attractive vase, although I don't think the two varieties display that well together.

In my opinion the red roses are a better colour and a better design than those in the larger set so you might want to swap them out if you have the 18+ bouquet. It’s also worth noting that while the brightly-coloured lime green stems work well as a standalone set, it does stand out a bit more when placed alongside the darker green stems from 10280 Flower Bouquet and 40460 Roses. Until the day comes where we see a LEGO Honey I Shrunk The Kids-themed set, minifigures wouldn’t be appropriate (nor to scale) here. The three heads -- white, cool yellow and medium lavender -- are constructed using two of the very useful Brick 1X2X1 2/3, W/ 8 Knobs, design ID 67329, which is ideal for building SNOT squares like this.Once retired, the expected annual growth will be close to 7% after the second year, which will value the set between 12 € and 13 € shortly after it is retired. The easiest and least time-consuming approach for many builders is to tackle all three simultaneously, but should you have any family members or curious onlookers nearby now is the time to get them involved.
