January/February 2021 Build Challenge -Botanical Build Bonanza

I LUG NY members were challenged to create a botanical build. This challenge was inspired by the new LEGO Botanicals line of LEGO sets. Members had to design a build of a tree, flower, or other kind of plant life. Designs could have been a standalone item or a vignette. The only guideline was that it prominently featured something that photosynthesizes.
