Carnations in January shake the foundations,

Violets in February are an aid to salvation,

Daffodils in March bring betrayal and loss,

Sweet peas in April consume all the dross,

Lily of the Valley in May brings danger untold,

Roses in June show a heart filled with gold,

Water lilies in July a town will submerge,

Gladioli in August love from the ash will emerge,

Forget-me-nots in September are on the front line of fear,

Marigolds in October will test her career,

Mums in November show the burden of choice,

Holly in December lets a family rejoice.
