This story is written with 2020 vision against a backdrop of division, disparity and despair with lockdown tiers and tears, pandemic masks and masquerades, during a time of introspection and reflection, highlighting imbalance and calling for correction and change. With a simple message of humanity, hope and harmony mixed with humour and a nod to history repeating rather than teaching where human traits of empathy and love seem overshadowed by consumption and tunnel vision. Today should determine, not destroy tomorrow, and be enjoyable, not a chore. Set in parallel universes of an old English garden. Feuding florists, Primrose York with her white roses and Rosemary Lancaster with her red roses are also neighbours, victims of distorted family history, hellbent on outdoing each other at all costs. Bee Queen Abeille reigns over Primrose's garden, and Wasp Queen Vespula dominates Rosemary's side. Never the twain shall meet until one decides to eradicate the other to remain supreme, miscalculating the response.
