Default Plants named Brian

This may seem a bit silly, but we are looking for a plant with "Brian"
in it's name.
We have recently buried a beloved pet in our garden, and would like a
memorial plant to keep the little guy company. It would be a wonderful
reminder of the joy he gave us. Thank you.

We have a useful evergreen shrub with gold foliage called Escallonia 'Golden
Brian' which if you can put up with the pink flowers is rather lovely with
clematis and roses through it. You can treat Escallonia as a hedge and trim
as much as you like.
