Available for your admiration are roses, lilies, daisies, ferns, and violets galore, among other rare and special species. Visit during Dia de Muertos to see trucks carting in pink and orange cempasuchil, or Mexican marigolds, for family members to buy to decorate their ofrendas at home or their loved ones’ graves.
