There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and  16 for flowers. So her flower garden was the best. One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often   17    from, a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never   18   blooms(花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she   19    ordered it.
When it arrived, she already had a   20   prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it,   21   there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. However, it was   22   .
One morning weeks later, when standing before the vine, she felt very   23   that her plant had not bloomed. She was giving thought to   24    it down and planting something else in its place.
