The City of Corpus Christi dedicated the Selena Memorial on May 25, 1997, honoring Selena Quintanilla-Perez (1972-1996). Selena was referred to as La Flor (The Flower) and identified with La Rosa Blanca (The White Rose). At La Rosa Blanca, her presence is felt nearby. Though Selena’s stage is now silent, her persona enriched the lives of those she touched and her music lives on at Mirador de la Flor (Overlook of the Flower).
