Chocolate Lily

When it comes to naming things sometimes the name is fairly obvious. If you are writing a historical fiction you really don't wonder why it is named a 'broadsword'. It is a sword. It is significantly broader than the majority of the other swords in use at that time. If you are writing a story set in a western forest it makes sense that the Lodgepole Pine is a pine three that was used to make the center poles of the lodges both historically and in modern times. 
One does wonder why something that looks rather like a half dead banana was named a Chocolate Lilly however.
