-'''Bacopa Cabana''', also known as '''The Pikmin Flower''', is a cultivated species of flower named after the [[Pikmin series]] and bred with the intention of using it to market the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]].<ref>[http://uk.gamespot.com/gamecube/strategy/pikmin/news.html?sid=2831784 "Pikmin becomes a flower" - GameSpot - 2001]</ref>  Nintendo announced the impending creation of the flower through an agreement with S&G Flowers USA in late 2001, and it became commercially available in April the following year, 5 months after the release of the game. The flower is now quite rare due to the late release of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' causing it to fall out of popularity.
+The '''Bacopa Cabana''',{{cite web|http://cube.ign.com/articles/100/100417p1.html|Meet the Pikmin Flower|IGN}} commonly known as the '''Pikmin Flower''', is a type of real-world flower cultivated to resemble  the flowers that [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] grow on their heads. Bacopa Cabana comes in four colors: white, similar to the flowers of {{p1}}; rose, similar to the flowers of {{p2}}; blue, similar to the flowers of {{p3}}; and pink. {{cite web|https://www.syngentaflowers.com/product/flower/70060751|Cabana® Jumbo White|Syngenta Flowers}}

+==History==
+Bacopa Cabana is a cultivated species of ''{{w|Chaenostoma cordatum}}'' used to market {{p1}}'s release in North America.{{cite web|http://www.gamespot.com/articles/pikmin-becomes-a-flower/1100-2831784/|Pikmin becomes a flower|GameSpot}} Nintendo announced the creation of the cultivar through an agreement with S&G Flowers USA, now known as {{w|Syngenta|Syngenta Flowers}}, in late 2001. The flower became commercially available in April the following year, five months after the release of the game. The full press release can be found [[:File:Pikminpressrelease.png|here]]. The flower is not patented in the United States Patent System, and can thus be grown freely.{{cite web|https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1924/#b|Sutera Species, Bacopa|Dave's Garden|retrieved={{date|30|March|2021}}}} It is possible that the flowers of ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'' were based on colorations of Bacopa Cabana, however {{pb}} and {{p4}} introduce Pikmin flowers with colors that do not correspond to any Bacopa Cabana.
