JF In our GoGoD CD we offer the Dogleg, Magic Dirk and Sidekick Josekis. Name authors, if it matters, were myself, David Mitchell and Mark Hall respectively. The Kitani joseki is another possibility.
Can a lotus really droop, or fall? I hate gardening, but I believe a lotus flower is one that floats on water.
DougRidgway Lovely names! "Drooping lotus" I remember from Essential Joseki -- I think it's a zero space high pincer to a low approach to a 3-4 point: http://gobase.org/service/uncgi/gobase?File=chap1/sgf/226 .
JF Yes, it's one of the most ancient Chinese joseki names (it dates from the Ming). But can it droop? :) Actually it may be a mistranslation. The Chinese is dao chui lian and literally it means drooping lotus, but dictionaries say it refers to a tiger lily. I know zilch about flowers so I have no idea whether a a tiger lily really is a lotus. People on this side of the Pond, might prefer the name Tiger Lily anyway - fond memories of Rupert the Bear!
Naustin--What about "attach and extend"?
