MOC: Purple or Pink Umbrella Flowers?

Two photos of LEGO brick-built flowers MOC with white technic stems on a light gray background. The top version has transparent purple umbrellas as flowers with matching buds, and the bottom has transparent dark pink umbrella flowers and buds, both with transparent bright green gem centers and clusters of new leaves.

To celebrate more than 500 votes of support for my Winter Ice Flowers project on LEGO’s Ideas platform, here’s a recolored version of the pink umbrella flowers in the original build — this time in transparent purple and green! Which one do you prefer?

For this version, I also rebuilt the white stem with the same pieces in a different configuration, for a taller, more upright form. I remixed the smaller and larger buds in a different way, for more variation. Aside from changing the colors, I didn’t add any new pieces, so I think of these as “builder’s choice” variations.

I chose the lower, drooping build for the final version of my Idea, since I thought it filled the space in the arrangement better. And I chose the pink umbrella flowers to give the arrangement more colors overall, since I already had purple in the gem globe flowers. But I do really love the combination of transparent purple and transparent bright green!

LEGO brick-built flowers made from transparent blue, purple, red, orange, pink, and green parts and white stems are arranged in three vases. The vases sit in a snowy landscape with a white tree. Three flowers of different shapes and sizes lie on the wooden table next to the base.
