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}}

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.

The ''Sutera cordata'' are a perennial type of plant (reoccurring every year). Also they are an Evergreen, which means that even in the harsh winter climate and lack of sun, the plants leafs can retain its green color. As an added bonus, the flowers can live through the same weather. This real life logic can be placed into the Pikmin world. The Red Pikmin are shown in Pikmin 2 in a harsh snowy landscape with the Pikmin’s leaf green and bright. Even in such climates the flowers can bloom in real life. The record for the ''Sutera cordata''is -1.1 degrees C and 30 degrees F ''Sutera cordata'' are remarkably strong plants. Mr. Miyamoto must have had this in mind for the Pikmin to be strong and durable creatures.
