Jasmin Wagner ([jasˈmiːn ˈʋaːɡnɐ], born 20 April 1980), better known as Blümchen [ˈblyːmçən], is a pop and dance music singer, actress, and model/spokesperson. Although she releases her English albums under the name Blossom, her German stage name "Blümchen" actually translates to "floret" or "small flower". She is also known as Denim Girl, performing the song "Are You Ready For Some Darkness?" on the Alpha Motherfuckers - A Tribute to Turbonegro album.

Born in Hamburg to a German father and a Croatian mother, she began performing as a cheerleader for the Hamburg Blue Angels, a squad associated with the Hamburg Blue Devils American football team. In 1995, when she was just 15, she started her musical career under the name Blümchen. She became the most successful German female singer of the 1990s. She also released singles and albums in other German-speaking countries, Scandinavia and Asia.

Her songs varied from around 50 BPM to about 190 BPM and they range from many genres of music: Dance, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Pop, and Eurodance. She returned, though, in 2001 with the single "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" under her real name, Jasmin Wagner. In 2005 she released her first and so far only studio album Die Versuchung. It was commercially unsuccessful, staying in the German Album Charts for just five weeks. The musical style is very different from the Blümchen songs. It can be categorized as Retro Pop.
