this plant is called The Chili Man. the name most likely comes from jazz music. the plant and flower are both large. at maturity it should be 48 inches 122 cm tall with a bloom 9 inches 23 cm across. now can i remember this next summer when the pollen starts to fly ?…

That does sound like a good name for a jazz musician.
It does. After a couple of similar searches it is still no joy. Who knows could it be an obscure reference to the food and a chef ? The plant still holds the same hopes regardless. It is good for two or three rounds of discussion and libation…
I can help with that last part.
A more noble offer I have yet to hear on this cloudy Saturday morning. Now if only they don’t run out of wings.
Chilli Man is quite stylish, John.
I would go with that too. Except I am still not finding a reference. Whoda thunk that ? The confusion will not change my plans for the plant. We will go with stylish. Thanks John
