Atlixco — the place of beautiful water.
Grown here: Lisianthus · Gladiolus
Atlixco sits in the shadow of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl — two snow-capped volcanoes whose mineral-rich soil and steady light made this valley the natural home of our gladiolus.
Popocatépetl & Iztaccíhuatl.
The warrior and his sleeping princess — frozen in volcano stone, watching over the valley they once loved.
Aztec legend tells of a princess, Iztaccíhuatl, who died of grief believing her warrior, Popocatépetl, had fallen in battle. When he returned, the gods turned them both to mountains so they would never again be parted. Every flower we cut here grows in their shadow.
