Is there a flower called Jackson?

I am looking to see if there such a flower called Jackson. I am looking for a way to memorialze my grandfather who's name is Jackson.

Is there a flower called Jackson?
the last answer said "Jack-in-the-Pulpit" Good one, very diff. Also there's "Jack-in-the-Bush" common name for Umbilicus rupestris, with round basal leaves %26amp; tall spikes of tiny yellow flowers.

I'm a Master Gardener so I have many books. I looked it up in, THE NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION-DICTIONARY of HORTICULTURE. They have a common name section, so I checked there too.

In our Garden Club when we wish to do the same we plant something they loved, or a plant that reminds us of them or plant a tree or Rose bush with a plaque of their name.

When I lost Jim I planted his work boots (he was a Farmer) with "Hens %26amp; Chicks" they do well in boots, really U could also use shoes too. They sit on my steps %26amp; stay there all winter, %26amp; I live in the mid-west! Dekalb, Illinois! If the squirels bother them wrap a piece of chicken wire around like a cage until they're tightly established.

I also made a birdhouse out of one of his other boots. Just cut a hole out of the upper side %26amp; wired on 2 pieces of wood for the roof. U could also take a licence plate %26amp; bend in half %26amp; wire on for the roof. Then write on something like "The Jackson boarding House for all Birds Under God" Bless you for your thoughtfulness to your Grandfather-x-o
Reply:I cannot think of any plants named Jackson.

There is Jack-in-the-Pulpit.

It's a wildflower that grows in the shade. In the springtime it has green blossoms with purplish streaks.

If you've never seen one, it's hard to explain so here's a link to a pic.
