'''Figworts''' | '''Figworts''' are tall, flowering plants used as scenery in the three main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', figwort plants sport bright blue flowers. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', figwort blossoms have adopted a deep pinkish hue which is thought to be the result of differing soil conditions; in fact, the color of some real-world flowering plants, {{w|Hydrangea macrophylla|bigleaf hydrangeas}} in particular, can vary from blue to pink/purple, depending on the {{w|Acid|acidity}} or {{w|Base (chemistry)|alkalinity}} of the soil in which they grow. Although ''Pikmin 2'' does not have the [[#Insects|tiny black bugs]] from the first game, figworts may conceal larger creatures such as [[Doodlebug]]s or [[Unmarked Spectralids]]. In certain above-ground and cave locations, such as the [[Wistful Wild]] and [[White Flower Garden]], dead or dormant figworts can be seen, possessing pale or red-orange leaves and without flowers. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', only the blue figwort plant appears | In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', figwort plants sport bright blue flowers.

In the first game, touching certain flower clusters will release a swarm of tiny black bugs sometimes referred to by fans simply as "figwort insects". They fly around for a bit and quickly retreat, and cannot be interacted with whatsoever. These bugs also appear around some [[clover]]s, and even in isolated spots, such as behind the rusty can next to the [[Eternal Fuel Dynamo]]. No information about them is provided in the game. The plants they inhabit also show no signs of disease, so the relationship between the insects and plants is likely | In the first game, touching certain flower clusters will release a swarm of tiny black bugs sometimes referred to by fans simply as "figwort insects".
