We recently purchased a spanish style home. What plants would work best? I would like color with flowers, also

Our spanish, white, brick home is in St. Louis. Zone 5. Whats your pick of plantings?

Yeah your previous answerer is correct, you need to go by indoor/outdoor, soil, water, shade and sunlight needs (usually follows some sort of climate), as well as amount of work you are willing to put in keeping it alive.

If you are talking about theme only, I would look to the flora of either Spain or Mexico and go with plants that work in your situation.

You might consider yucca, cacti, aloe, all of which I think bloom for at least occasional flowering action...these are local flora in Mexico. A lot less familiar with Spain. Then there is roses.

When I personally think of these decors, I think high contrast, mimicking the contrast in the lives of people of the area. Warm hearts, harsh living conditions. Low budgets, full tables. Bright flowing music, chattery punctuated language, strong work ethic, laid back lifestyle.

So this translates into decor: fierce bright colors with neutrals, black, and white mixed in. Sharp lines mixed with soft curves and organic shapes. You might consider shaping your containers or flower beds in a weird flowing curve (map out with a garden hose to define the lines) and then put spiky hostile looking plants in for contrast to the smooth shape of the bed. Or use bright flowering plants in appropriate soil but covered by stark rock in neutral or black tones. Or mixing flowers and cactus together. You also may consider adding food plants to your garden...such as peppers of all intensities and colors...of course, they have a blooming period too.

Both cultures are known for use of red in their decorating, but that is far from the only color acceptable in these festive and stimulating decors.
