Assembly

To assemble the flowers, simply screw the Flower onto the Stem, and the Stem onto the Root. (The thread it mirrored to avoid getting loose while dragging up the flowers from the ground. If still too loose - use a little glue - optional)

This is the fun part. And it’s simple: put the ground pieces in the box and ‘plant’ the flowers. That’s it Well with the pieces there are A LOT of combinations - so it might take you a little to find the correct way. But studying the pieces will help you along the way. Enjoy and have fun!

 The correct position of the parts:
