(seeds). I plant flowers. I assemble
flowers. I pick flowers. I pick
different flowers. I remove flowers.
I seek flowers. I offer flowers. I
arrange flowers. I thread a flower.
I string flowers. I make flowers. I
form them to be extending, uneven,
rounded, round bouquets of flowers.
I make a flower necklace, a
flower garland, a paper of flowers,
a bouquet, a flower shield, hand

with words."
I provide one with flowers.
I make flowers, or I give them to
one that someone will observe a
feastday. Or I merely continue to
give one flowers; I continue to place
them in one's hand, I continue to
offer them to one's hands. Or I
provide one with a necklace, or I
provide one with a garland of flowers.
