Let me get this straight, this flower was artificially made to look like the Pikmin flower? As in, it didn't exist before, and it was made with the Pikmins' flower design in mind? '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:13, 22 March 2011 (EDT) | |||

== Calling the flowers ingame "Chaenostoma cordatum" == | |||
The page consistently treats the flowers that appear in-game as literally being Chaenostoma cordatum. This, I feel, is not something verifiably true, and shouldn't be included. Not only was the Chaenostoma cordatum bred to promote {{p1}} during its launch ''(how can Pikmin be based on a flower that was specifically bred to resemble them?)'', but the [https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-10-pikmin-4-part-1/ recent interview] shows concept art of Pikmin with different flowers, the one closest resembling the final being thr '''feverfew''', not the cordatum. I think the page needs to be heavily rewritten to focus on the actual real-world flower that is called Chaenostoma cordatum, and not the stylized generic flowers they vaugely resemble.--[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 00:33, October 1, 2023 (EDT) | |||
