LOVED (6)

01Excellent value for money at $14.99 for 216 pieces ($0.069 per piece, one of the better ratios in the botanical line)
02Realistic and elegant final appearance, with owners repeatedly noting the flowers look true to life
03Clever parts usage, most notably shield elements repurposed as petals
04Pairs beautifully with other LEGO botanical sets including the Sunflowers and Tulips
05Accessible build for a wide age range, including younger builders completing it independently
06Brightens indoor spaces year-round for owners who cannot have real flowers

CRITICIZED (4)

01Repetitive build process: all four flowers follow identical steps, which some owners found tedious
02Leaf attachment uses a rotating mechanism that allows stems to twist, making upright vase display unstable without an external fix (one owner inserted floral foam to stabilize)
03Stems are shorter than some owners would prefer, with no supplemental kit available
04Sparse leaf count noted by some buyers

Ecosystem

Botanical Collection Roses — Daffodils are compared favorably in comments as part of the botanical junior collection; one commenter ranks them as third best, better than tulips but not on the level of roses or sunflowers

Botanical Collection Tulips — Described as better than tulips in the botanical junior collection ranking

Botanical Collection Sunflowers — Not on the level of sunflowers according to commenter ranking of the botanical junior collection

LEGO Botanicals Sunflower — Daffodils are easier to arrange; Sunflower is much heavier and requires stiff substrate to prevent rotation

What Owners Say · summarized from 50 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners love the aesthetics and appreciate these as an allergy-free flower alternative, but structural stability issues with spinning petals and leaves severely frustrate many who want to display them in vases.
