Calamity resulting from Diana's bloomer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disaster

'calamity' is the definition.
(calamity can mean a disaster)

'diana's bloomer' is the wordplay.
'diana's' becomes 'Di's' (Di is short for Diana).
'bloomer' becomes 'aster' (aster is a kind of flowering plant).
'dis'+'aster'='DISASTER'

'resulting from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disaster that I've seen before include "Sudden catastrophe" , "Event causing great damage" , "Star dies (anag)" , "complete failure" , "Terrible calamity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
