My wife assembling a Lego flower set

237

Halfway through the one my wife put together she stopped and was like "Holy shit. I get it."

When referring to adults playing with Legos.

Respectfully your wife is gorgeous

u/Harmonier 1d ago

Thanks for the compliment, we both appreciate it ☺️

But I assume its just a few objects like the big box on the right a bit of smaller stuff on the left that hit the real renaissance vibe. If they where gone it would be more obvious.

looks like a court wizard or alchemist laboring over the magnum opus

u/Tjeetje 2d ago

O no, she is assembling it upside down

13

u/Harmonier 2d ago

Maybe that's why it took her so long to assemble it 🤔

As a wife watching her husband also put together a Lego set at this moment, I appreciate this photo.

Is that wheat on the table? Christmas tradition, right? I moved out of my home country 7 years ago and I haven’t seen it since then. Right in the feels

u/Harmonier 2d ago

It is wheat indeed. We are at my mother-in-law for the holidays and I actually thought she bought it for our cat, who likes to eat it sometimes. But after seeing your comment I asked my mother-in-law if it was a local tradition for Christmas and she actually said yes. Thanks for the comment, I found out something new 🙂

u/ddarth7 1d ago

Don’t know where your wife is from but this is a tradition in Croatia.

13

u/Harmonier 1d ago

You got it! That's where we are 🙂

u/ddarth7 1d ago

Awesome! I‘m Croatian, enjoy your stay!

Congrats, I got my mom (64) this exact same set as she has been Bitten by the botanical but since this summer when we went to Legoland. It's so much fun watching how people that have not really grown up lego builders take to the modern instructions, and of course I am available if she needs directions, but only if she asks.

The Lego app instructions are great too. Being able to see it in 3D helps a ton with some parts.

Also, if your helping someone build a set, and everyone is using the app, it will give each person different things to do. Kind of blew my mind when I discovered that. Made building a large set with my daughter a lot more fun since we weren't stumbling over how to split up the work.

It's a great present, I agree. My wife has also had 0 experience with Lego, it was fun watching her enjoy it for the first time

u/Datboisommy 2d ago

I got my wife the same set this year!

u/MtBakerScum 1d ago

We've been building one of these botanical sets every thanksgiving as an after dinner activity for the last two years now. I think it's a new tradition, they're quite enjoyable!

u/Active-Signal6019 2d ago

I have that exact set i have it displayed on my shelf 🥰

2

u/VStarlingBooks 1d ago

My 15 year old niece did it. I love that Legos are for all ages.

u/D20_Buster 1d ago

The plum blossom set is really nice. If you guys haven’t yet, I recommend the orchid set and the bonsai set. The birds of paradise was great too, but it’s discontinued.

u/Harmonier 1d ago

I just checked out the bonsai set online - it looks great. Thanks for the advice!

u/shamblam117 1d ago

My wife got the same one today as well. Always love seeing her be happy 90% of the time and then when a piece doesn't fit easily she gets all huffy

u/romanichki 1d ago
