Never heard of that expression. But then again, Spanish has quite some regional variations.

My teacher in Guatemala taught me the expression “echar flores” which I think means either to compliment or to flirt (or maybe both). Have you heard of this or its variants (I think you can replace flores with other words)?

Exactly. For a specific name you simply replace “mi tierra” by the person’s name.

So how do you say I miss my home
Echo de menos mi tierra
and what about if you use a specific person’s name?
