She learned how to love and take care of flowers from her grandmother. Her flower garden is the best in town. One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often ordered the flowers from, suddenly a picture of a plant caught her eyes. Her eyes lit up excitedly. She’d never seen flowers like that before. “I have to have it”, she said to herself, and ordered it at once. When it arrived, she already had prepared a place for it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms (花). Day after day she continued to water it and feed it. Sometimes she even talked to it, hoping to make it bloom. However, it was useless. One morning, a few weeks later, when standing before the vine (藤), she felt very sad that her plant hadn’t bloomed. She was giving thought to taking it down and planting something else there. It was at this point that her neighbor, whose yard joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the blooms of that vine you planted.” Jane walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was filled with blooms. At that time, her heart was filled with joy. They were truly the most beautiful blooms she’d ever seen.
