Potioncat:
I think you're right. I do remember an interview with JKR saying that a
friend reminded her that they had seen a plant called a Hogwort at a
flower show. But JKR said she hadn't remembered that. Even if that was
the source, it looks like in the meantime she turned it into the
warthog image.
I would provide the interview, except I can't get into the Quick Quotes
office.
