Netflix’s “The Most Beautiful Flower” or “La Flor Más Bella” Created by Michelle Rodríguez and Fernanda Eguiarte Hernández, is a Mexican comedy series inspired by the real-life experiences of Mexican comedian Michelle Rodríguez during her teenage years.
The story follows a self-confident high school student, Mich, who believes she is both fashionable and fabulous. As she navigates school life and deals with all the obstacles that come with it, including family traditions and love triangles, Micha’s goal is to become the best version of herself and prove herself to others at school.
The coming-of-age narrative sheds light on some real challenges that teenagers usually face, but with a comedic twist, making it both eye-opening and entertaining. Impressive performances from the talented cast of Esmeralda Soto, Isabel Yudice, and Alicia Vélez complement and enhance the narrative. Plus, the high school setting takes us back to our teenage years and makes us wonder where The Most Beautiful Flower was filmed.
Where Was The Most Beautiful Flower Series Filmed?
“The Most Beautiful Flower” is filmed in Mexico, particularly in Mexico City. Principal photography for the inaugural iteration of the comedy series reportedly began in early February 2022 and wrapped about a month later, in March of that year.
Since the story takes place in Mexico, the crew decides to film the series on location in the United Mexican States.

All key sequences of The Most Beautiful Flower take place in and around Mexico City, the capital and largest city of Mexico, as well as the most populous city in North America. Specifically, Xochimilco, where Michelle Rodríguez grew up and spent her teenage years, serves as one of the main production locations for the Mexican series.
