Forests: woodland through the year and the great northern forest, sentence 7

Bluebells grow from bulbs and flower in April and May, before the trees above are fully in leaf, because that is when sunlight still reaches the forest floor; about half of all the world's bluebells grow in Britain.

Who acts: Bluebells, trees, that, sunlight, half · What happens: grow, be, reach · To what, where: leaf, forest floor, Britain
