“The Garden” in Cuidad de Victoria contains a variety of plants and flowers. Some of the plants and flowers found in “The Garden” are dwarf trees or bonsai, cacti, petunia, zinnia, marigold, orchids, dahlia and mil flores. Most of these are popular garden plants and they are widely cultivated.

The cultivation of dwarf trees is called bonsai. It is considered an art form – an old one – which the Japanese have perfected and shared to the world. Old dwarf trees are artistically beautiful and can be bought in garden shops and stores, but their prices can be very expensive. Cacti are succulent American plants, which means they are able to store water in some of their parts like the stem and leaves. It is a form of adaptation to arid and dry surroundings where cacti plants usually grow. Like the bonsai, the cultivation of cacti has become a favorite pastime for garden and plant hobbyists.

Another popular type of cultivation is the cultivation of orchids. These plants produce very beautiful flowers, and it is for this reason that they are cultivated. In garden shops and stores, cultivated orchids can command high prices, just like the bonsai.

There are other popular garden flowers. These flowers are the petunia, marigold, zinnia, dahlia and mil flores. Petunia and marigold are popular garden flowers. Both are small flowers, although one other type of marigold has a medium-sized flower. The colors of the petunia flowers are many. Some are white, some are red, some are purple, while others may be pink, blue or yellow. The colors of marigold found in this display are gold and yellow. The zinnia flowers are medium-sized flowers with different colors and shapes while the dahlia flowers are colorful and relatively large flowers that are stunningly attractive. The yellow dahlia is the type of flower that is found in this display. The mil flores flowers are flowers of the hydrangea plants, which are also known as hortensia. Like the dahlia, the mil flores flowers are very attractive.
