  3. There is no such word as kepted. The past perfect ( past tense of the completed action ) for the verb keep is kept. Please note in your narrative about Chrysanthemums in Malta "will bring bad luck if they are kepted in the house". This is an easy mistake when English is not your first language, and many perfect verbs become past tense use "ed" as the ending, just not keep / kept.
