A similar thing happened when I was in "The New Wing" at B.R.I. in the late sixties, early seventies, there was a comical old gent in the opposite bed to me,
When his family came at visiting time, they presented him with a lovelly bunch of flowers,"here you are we have brought these to cheer you up Grandad" they said. "Bin better if thad brout somat to eight, I cant eight flowers was the reply.
