Nope never heard it called buddha's lantern, never heard of that
period and found nowt on the web anywhere.

Get the botanical name.. It may just be the garden workers that call
it that. The demon of common nomenclature! LOL;-)

yeah the name's kind of iffy.

Since when did Buddha or any other ascetics carry around lanterns?

Maybe the really name is Bubba's Lantern, named after some local's habit
of carrying around a flashlight.
