Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!
Did you know? (#5)

Sailor Moon has had a flower named after her, called the Happy Valley Sailor Moon. It is a hybrid flower that was named after Sailor Moon because the scientist Shigeru Makoto Kono thought that the flower’s yellow color matched the color of Usagi’s hair. Images of this orchid appear in on the inside cover of original manga volume 18, as well as on three pages of Artbook V. In the notes of Artbook V, Naoko Takeuchi wrote, “The day the final Sailor Moon anime was released, I received this flower from Tomari-sama, the Toei director of animation, and I was so happy that I tried putting them on the cover as well.” 

Happy Valley Sailor Moon is a breed of orchid called a Cymbidium (‘Cym’ for short). The breed was registered on October 9, 1997. Happy Valley Sailor Moon orchids are not cultivated every year, and are only grown in a certain part of Japan.
