La Rosa de Bayahibe

The Rosa de Bayahibe, the national flower of the Dominican Republic, is a rare and beautiful bloom that thrives in arid conditions. Unlike most cacti, it blossoms with delicate pink petals, embodying a striking contrast between resilience and grace. This unique ability to flourish in challenging environments makes the Rosa de Bayahibe a symbol of strength, adaptability, and enduring beauty—much like the women of my ancestry.
