I'm finding there's a lot of names for varieties in Asia that you have to use your imagination for.

For instance I've seen quite a few Japanese variety plants that are named after sumo terms, but not even ones that are, say, the ranks of sumo. I did find one or two that were named after sumo wrestlers, though.

Of course I guess you start running out of names to describe the colors and shapes of the plants leaves and flowers after awhile that you have to come up with something different.

I hope this helps

Thank you, it helps a lot! If I made it seem like a mystery it's because, well, I can't read Mandarin.
