• An upcoming situation gives you worry, like a plane trip, you blush easily

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

From a purely botanical perspective, the mimulus is a herbaceous plant that particularly thrives in warm, humid environments such as streams, lakes, and marshy areas. With its roots constantly struggling to keep the flowers afloat in flowing water, this plant is known for its courage and risk-taking. It is found primarily in the Americas, but also in Asia, South Africa, and Australia.

Mimulus is sometimes referred to as the "monkey flower" because some species have a morphology that resembles a monkey's face. Others are nicknamed "musk flowers" in reference to their fragrant scent. But the most widespread species remains Mimulus guttatus . This evergreen, serrated perennial proudly displays its yellow flowers tinged with red and typically grouped in clusters. It blooms from summer to autumn. An annual plant, this prominent member of the Scrophulariaceae family can reach up to 80 cm in height when it flourishes in ideal sunny conditions.
