We all know that the Pikmin concept started while Shiggy was working in his garden, right? Well, now you can relive that experience and maybe find your own inspiration in the dirt. Nintendo is teaming up with S&G Flowers/USA to release a totally new breed of flower in April 2002...and they shall call it "Mini-Me". Wait, strike that. It's called the Pikmin Flower, or scientifically, Bacopa Cabana, and it looks exactly like the flower that eventually sprouts from a yellow Pikmin's head.
