    The artist based the four designs on various flowers, the Esperanza, Texas Thistle, Prairie Celestial and Firewheel. These flowers were chosen for their importance to the native wildlife and also for their beauty and color. Each design originates from a painting, a portrait of each flower and a butterfly that visits it.

    La inspiración para los diseños de azulejo en el Parque Cultural del Arroyo San Pedro proviene de las flores silvestres nativas de San Antonio y Texas, que atraen y alimentan a mariposas, abejas y otros insectos de la región.

    La artista basó los cuatro diseños en distintas flores: la Esperanza, el Cardo de Texas, la Celestial de la Pradera y la Flor de Rueda (Firewheel). Estas flores fueron seleccionadas por su importancia para la vida silvestre nativa, así como por su belleza y color. Cada diseño nace de una pintura, un retrato de cada flor y de una mariposa que la visita.
