Love at first sight ❤️‍🔥 The peace lily made my head turn when I saw it swaying, its beautiful elephant ears fanning out, in the sunshine of a spice plantation farm I visited years ago. The image stayed with me, and when I decided to gift myself a logo this year (fancy 🤪), it came to mind immediately.
