Mexican Flower Culture: A Brief History
Long before the Spanish arrived, flowers held deep meaning in pre-Columbian civilizations. The Aztecs cultivated elaborate flower gardens called xochitlalpan, and flowers were used in religious ceremonies, offerings, and royal decorations. The marigold — known as cempasúchil in Náhuatl — was considered a sacred flower that guided the souls of the dead.
Today, that tradition lives on in Mexican markets, where flower vendors are a daily presence, and in the cultural celebrations that color the Mexican calendar year-round.
