PATCH POLL UPDATE: What’s the Best Valentine’s Day Flower to Say What You Mean?

UPDATE: Answers to the poll questions are:

• 1. If you fell in love with her (or him) at first sight, send lavendar roses.
• 2. If you are definitely in “like” with him (or her) and would like to explore whether you're in love with him (or her), send a bouquet of pink roses.
• 3. If you've never met such a rare create as her (or him), why send only roses? This beauty (beauty is genderless) deserves orchid and hydrangeas.
• 4. And if you're just not that into him (or her) and would like to break up? What kind of dolt are you? Don't send anything.

Here's the original story:

What’s the best flower to say, “I’m madly in love with you, you are my soulmate and my life is incomplete without you?”

At the end of Pretty Woman, those aren’t melon-colored roses Richard Gere is clenching in his teeth as he confronts his fear of heights to save Julia Roberts from a life of prostitution.

They're red.

Take our poll; check back Wednesday for the answers.

Let’s take it up a notch.

To help you say what you mean with flowers, we turned to Saley Nong, whose spectacular creations at Magnolia 105 by Divine Flowers, 5525 Mills Civic Pkwy., turn heads across the metro.

She provided some information about the following categories of "love." Take our poll to see if you know what your flowers say. We'll give you the answers later.
