Thank you again!

The link I provided in my post above has flower photos. Your guess was pretty close though.

Tenzan 天山, literally means "Heavenly Mountain" or something like that. However, Tenzan is also a Surname in Japan and that's why you've seen the name mentioned with Neo Pots. Musashi Tenzan is the founder of Studio Tenzan that makes some of the famous openwork pots.

Heavenly Mountain, I like that. The pots I've noticed are Studio Tenzan, beautiful pots.

I looked at your provided link, very much what I expected from this little plant. Thank you Hakumin!
