So after my multi-paragraph whinge about the planting in the lego Harry Potter set 76445 Hogwarts Castle: Herbology Class from the 2025 summer wave, we're now seeing a preview of a new set in the Wednesday series. And why do I bring it up, you might ask? Also bearing in mind that this is the theme that brought us the adorable gargoyles last year (later used in the 2025 76453 Malfoy Manor), 76784 lego Wednesday Black Dahlia Flower is well worth mentioning in its own right (and certainly in this context) because in addition to a buildable flower (a dahlia, obvs), it includes a mini-greenhouse, also worth mentioning because that greenhouse (in stark contrast to the 2024+ Hogwarts Herbology greenhouse) contains some nice plant builds, certainly for the price.
76784 lego Wednesday Black Dahlia Flower
358 pieces | 2 minidolls | 25 EUR | 01 AUGUST release date


Now let's compare that with the Herbology set, shall we?


A local store already has the Black Dahlia set discounted to 19 EUR for preorders, it's only a matter of time before it's discounted further, so I think I'll be getting it and using the pieces for Diagon Alley / Horizont Alley MOCs and to liven up my Hogwarts greenhouse. In addition to the nice plants, there are some of those cool 1/4 rounded corner window pieces to improve some of the bay windows I have, ditto the rounded balcony balustrade pieces.
