1 . Fleanor Love knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers. That means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding bouquets (花束) and give them to her lonely hospital _______, many of whom don’t often have visitors, let alone expensive _______.

The flowers are still in good shape, and the patients are pleased to have them. “I was so _______ that I cried,” said patient Connie Melzer, who was recovering from a heart problem when Love walked into her room with a bouquet in early 2020.

Love worked at the Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital as a(n) _______ student. She wondered how she could help _______ the patients’ suffering besides learning how to treat them as a student doctor.

“One of the _______ of being a medical student is that it can be very difficult to _______ to the care team,” said Love. “You are there as a learner, who doesn’t have as much knowledge as doctors. But you want to _______ your patients. How can I at this stage in my training make a(n) _______ for them?”

In 2019, she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond, and so far has ________ more than 760 bouquets to patients. She brought fellow students and other people into her project, and now has more than 200 ________ on the email list.

When Love began the project, she called businesses such as wedding venues (场馆) and florists and asked them what events were scheduled. She then reached out to brides and grooms to ask them if they had ________ for their flowers after the big day.

For each wedding, she organized a team of eight people who helped ________ the flowers when the party was over and then spent time carrying them to individual patients.

People beyond the VCU community have heard about Love’s project and become part of it. “Once the word got out, people around the city started ________ us,” Love said. She wanted to bring the project to more cities and maybe open branches at other medical schools.
