My sincere apologies to members of OT. and particularly to Scrubber. I googled and found that Brighton Nursery is indeed an Australian nursery. Like Pavel I thought that it was named after Brighton in the UK but was told by the vendor that the plant originated from Thailand and named after a nursery there.

Thanks Srubber for the correction.
