The cempasúchil flowers are almost here!

Known as the Mexican marigold, cempasúchil comes from the Nahuatl word cempohualxochitl, meaning “flower of twenty petals.” Native to Mexico, this beautiful flower is one of the most beloved and meaningful symbols of Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead).

Tradition holds that the flowers’ glowing orange and yellow petals catch the eyes of returning spirits, while their strong, earthy fragrance guides them home to reunite with their families. Placed on altars, or ofrendas, and along pathways, cempasúchil flowers help light the way for loved ones as they return to the world of the living.

🧡 One order. A whole lot of marigolds. 🧡

Just WOW! 😍

These gorgeous orange marigolds are headed out for Día de los Mu***os celebrations, and this is just ONE customer’s order!

Marigolds, known as cempasúchil, hold a special place in Día de los Mu***os traditions, symbolizing remembrance and helping guide loved ones’ spirits home. 🏵️

We’re honored to play a small part in helping our customers bring these meaningful celebrations to life.

Some of the students that visited us are the same Spanish 3 class that built the Frida Kahlo altar in the middle of our gallery ❤️

We’d like to give a huge thank you to Jefferson ISD and their Spanish teacher, Mrs. Morgan, for joining in on the celebration 🎉

When a loved one passes away, we can remember them during Día de los Mu***os by adding their photo to an ofrenda. Our community altar is a place for your loved ones to be remembered, honored, and celebrated.

We are honored to share this space with our community, and to join in celebrating your loved ones. To participate, please bring a copy of a photo to the museum (or email one to [email protected]) and include your name and the name of the person in the photo. A staff member will add the photo to the altar.

If you leave a photo with us, be prepared to pick it up on the week of Nov. 3rd - Nov. 6th.
