Rodney and Wanda hadn’t seen each other since the end of Summer – both deciding they would lay dormant to let the frost blanket the ground in preparation for their next meeting. But, as the weather warmed, they grew closer. Stronger. More together. And, soon enough, their delicate leaves curled into one another, they enjoyed the spring morning sun and a couples massage, daily, until the cycle would begin again, in just a few months time.

Artist notes: We have four huge lavender bushes outside our front window and the hum of the bees during Spring is one of my favourite sounds. I can stand there for hours watching the bees work. I know they're collecting pollen but sometimes, I imagine they are masseurs.
