Given your previous threads on what to buy, you cannot just drop that in there without telling us what you decided on!

Was a story from the Flower Class Corvette fleet, I'm told (totally unreliably). Plain voice RT call using the old Music Hall tune of the same name..... Somehow I cant quite believe it actually happened.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do,
I'm on the radio, trying to contact you...

I have always gone for girls names so perhaps a flower name such as lily or rose.

Hairy Balls ....
Gomphocarpus physocarpus, commonly known as hairy balls, balloonplant, balloon cotton-bush, bishop's balls, nailhead, or swan plant,[2] is a species of plant in the Milkweed subfamily Asclepiadoideae of the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae), related to the milkweeds. The plant is native to southeast Africa, but it has been widely naturalised as it is often used as an ornamental plant.

There was a boat in our club called Nympheas. I think it's a sort of water lily. But the wags took to calling her Nymphy Arse.

Cirsium Heterophyllum, aka melancholy thistle, for those pensive sad moments that only the joy of boat ownership can bring.

Friends of mine own a boat whose previous owner retained it as part of a divorce settlement I believe. The name? ‘The Price of Peace’. The name was changed on sale…
A local yard here is home to ‘Betty’s Mink’.

Mimosa pudica folds its leaves and makes them droop when they get wet. Could be a good name for one of those folding multis.
