For January I chose the cypress, one of the rare trees to retain their green colour in winter or "sempervirens". It is of the Cupressaceae family and is a common sight in all the Mediterranean world. You find them very frequently in the cemeteries which is sometimes explained by them reaching to the sky, guiding the souls of the departed.
Pour figurer l'hiver j'ai choisi le cyprès qui reste vert tout l'hiver, "sempervirens", de la famille des Cupressacées.
