'''Bacopa Cabana''', also known as '''The Pikmin Flower''', is a cultivated species of flower named after the [[Pikmin series|''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, five months after the release of the game. The full press release can be found [http://www.pikminwiki.com/File:Pikminpressrelease.png here]. The flower is now quite rare, with the late release of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' causing it to fall out of popularity.
