More than just a plant, the mimulus encompasses nearly 180 species in the form of annuals, perennials, and shrubs. One of them is used to create the famous Mimulus Bach flower whose virtues help to control emotions, among other things.

From a purely botanical point of view, the mimulus is a herbaceous plant that particularly appreciates warm and humid environments, such as rivers, lakes, or marshy regions. Its roots constantly struggle to keep the flowers on the surface of fast-flowing water, making this plant known for its courage and taste for risk. It is found mainly on the American continent, but also in Asia, South Africa, and Australia.

The mimulus is sometimes called the "monkey flower" because some species have a morphology resembling a monkey's face. Others are nicknamed "musk flowers" in reference to their fragrant scents. But the most widespread species remains Mimulus guttatus. This perennial with persistent, serrated foliage proudly displays its yellow flowers tinged with red and typically grouped in clusters. It blooms from summer to autumn. An annual plant, this eminent member of the Scrophulariaceae family can reach up to 80 cm in height when it thrives in ideal sunlight conditions.
