I'll have a mimosa, please


The Pink Bunkadoo. OK, there is no such tree, except in one of my favorite movies, "Time Bandits." Produced in 1981 by, and starring a bunch of, the guys from Monty Python, the movie explores time and God, good and evil, history and modern society as only the Monty Python guys can. A gang of little people roam time with a map of the universe they stole from the Supreme Being after being kicked out of heaven for having created the Pink Bunkadoo, "600 feet high, bright red and smelled terrible." I cannot help but think of mimosa trees, adorned with their fluffy pink flowers, as the Pink Bunkadoo. They usher spring into summer with graceful beauty.
