Mirador de la Flor, Bronze memorial statue in Corpus Christi, United States.

Mirador de la Flor is a white open-air pavilion on a circular stepped base of polished reddish granite in Corpus Christi, Texas. Under its octagonal canopy, a life-sized bronze figure in a jacket and jeans leans against the central column beside a tall bronze surfboard-shaped panel with a raised rose. Fourteen spotlights hang beneath the canopy, and a curved metal railing encircles the base.

Mirador de la Flor was inaugurated on May 6, 1997, two years after Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was murdered on March 31, 1995, at age 23. The project was partly funded by philanthropist Devary "Dusty" Durrill, who gave 600,000 dollars toward its construction. Corpus Christi native H.W. "Buddy" Tatum sculpted the life-sized bronze figure.

The name means "Overlook of the Flower", after the white roses said to be Selena's favourite; the plaque calls her La Flor and notes she identified with La Rosa Blanca. Fans leave white roses at the base and the bronze surfboard panel bears a raised rose. The site draws about 30,000 visitors a year, mostly from Corpus Christi and other Texas cities.

The monument stands at the T-head of Shoreline Boulevard at the water's edge, facing Corpus Christi Bay. A 4-foot stainless steel barrier surrounds the statue and pillar, so the bronze is viewed from behind the railing rather than touched. The memorial plaque faces Shoreline Boulevard.

A steel barrier has protected the figure from touch and damage since 2000. Thousands of visitors come here each year, often with white roses, making the memorial a place of personal gestures.
