Pacific Bulb society calls them Habranthus robustus. Here is a link that might be useful:

Echinopsis los Angeles, I'd say. Here is a link that might be useful: can compare to mine

I went through the same thing that you're talking about. I was pretty much my own lighting designer, so I depended tremendously on what I could find online. I found this advice helpful: experts123.com says, "For general lighting applications a good rule of thumb is to space recessed fixtures a distance that is equal to about half the ceiling height. For example, if a room has an 8ft ceiling, you should probably space the recessed fixtures about 4ft apart. This rule of thumb should be used only as a base line." I see you will not have wall cabinets around the sink area. With no opportunity to install undercabinet task lighting here, I would want cans positioned over the countertops for task lighting. I am *not* an expert, but I would be tempted to center a can over the sink, and then, using the aforementioned rule-of-thumb as a guide, space the rest of the cans appropriately. I would include undercabinet lighting on either side of the cooktop. I imagine that UCL coupled with your hood lights would be very dramatic. Of course, you need to also adjust that plan for any decorative lighting that you plan to include. Here's a pic of my finished kitchen as an example: I have 9-ft ceilings, so I figured about 4-4 1/2 ft spacing for the cans. Then I adjusted their placements according to where we wanted the ceiling fan (roughly in the middle of the kitchen) and the pendants over the bar. I hope this helps.

For timber purposes, Western Pa has the finest in the world. Allegheny National Forest is a sight to behold - especially in the dead of winter !
