12 groves in a circle, a new colour blooming each month.<\/p>\n
In January, the white of snowdrops
\nIn February, the yellow of daffodils
\nIn March, the green of grey willow
\nIn April, the blue of wisteria
\nIn May, the pink of cherry blossoms
\nIn June, the red of poppies
\nIn July, the honeyed yellow of catkins on sweet chestnut trees
\nIn August, the purple velvet of tufted vetch
\nIn September, the crimson of burnet
\nIn October, the gold of autumn hawkbit
\nIn November, the grey beards clinging to the branches of the clematis trees<\/p>\n
Then December comes.<\/p>\n
In the silence nothing grows,
\nbut much is buried<\/p>\n
