Mexico is made up of 31 federal entities known as states and a federal district - much like the US and Washington DC.
Within this Federal District - or "Distrito Federal" as it is called by the locals - lies Mexico City. However, this Federal District is also subdivided into "Delegaciones" (equivalent to US counties). One of these Delegaciones is called Xochimilco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochimilco) which spans some 47 square miles and has a population of about 370,000.
Within Delegación Xochimilco is located the Xochimilco Ecological Park, which contains some of the last remains of Texcoco lake (this lake spanned most of what today is known as Mexico City). This is a swampy, tree-covered area where the distinctive chinampas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinampa) become part of the landscape, and many of these crops include ornamental plants and flowers.
