The beginning of this tradition originated in the first season, when Floricienta falls in love with Federicothe elder brother of the children she looked after at the Fritzenwalden mansion. He was played by Juan Gil Navarro, and in the nanny’s dreams, the cold man gives her some Yellow flowers as a gesture of loveIn the background, you could hear the soundtrack of the series, also performed by Florencia Bertotti, which sings about the situation of her waiting in real life for her “prince” appear with a bouquet of flowers.

The full lyrics of “Yellow Flowers” by Floricienta
“He was waiting for her with a yellow flower
She was dreaming it with the light in her pupil
And the yellow of the Sun illuminated the corner
I felt it so close, I felt it since I was a child
She knew that he knew
That one day it would happen
That he would come to look for her
With its yellow flowers
Don’t hurry, don’t stop
The moment of the encounter
It is said that it is a fact
Don’t lose it, it’s not right
Don’t forget that life
She is almost never asleep
The meeting was waiting for us in that deserted bar.
She arrived in a yellow limo of course
He suddenly approached and looked at her straight in the eye.
A whole life of dreaming and he couldn’t say anything
She knew that he knew
That one day it would happen
That he would come to look for her
With its yellow flowers
Don’t hurry, don’t stop
The moment of the encounter
It is said that it is a fact
Don’t lose it, it’s not right
Don’t forget that life
She is almost never asleep
Yellow flowers
She knew that he knew
That one day it would happen
That he would come to look for her
With its yellow flowers
Don’t hurry, don’t stop
The moment of the encounter
It is said that it is a fact
Don’t lose it, it’s not right
Don’t forget that life
She is almost never asleep
She knew that he knew
He knew, she knew
That he knew, she knew
And they forgot about their yellow flowers”
