Extravaganza Bananamour

Normal service: I don't know what this is, so I have made some stuff up.

Firstly, it is a very extravagant bloom, and the nearest thing I've ever seen that is such a fine yellow is a banana, so I have named the flower Extravaganza Bananamour, which has the right balance of pomposity and unthinking silliness.

I have to tell you that I didn't make up the word "bananamour" and first encountered it when I bought the album containing the song below, which is performed by Kevin Ayers; the album is titled Bananamour. The song is a tribute to the founder of Pink Floyd, who was no less eccentric than Mr. Ayers but didn't last as long, sadly.

Oh ! Wot A Dream
