Men get it wrong! Most women would rather not get flowers on Valentine's Day, according to a survey published Monday.
Almost 70 percent of men said they believed that their loved ones would like flowers on Feb. 14. But only one in four women said they like receiving them.
Ninety-two percent of women said they would prefer other gifts, such as chocolates or even a marriage proposal . Many women described flowers as impractical and overpriced.

Many women feel that men don't need to buy expensive gifts to show their love. Instead, they'd like men to find other ways to be romantic. For example, some men put together scrapbooks full of pictures of them with their companion.
Around 400 men and women were interviewed for the survey by the Hong Kong environmental group Green Sense. The group has urged people to cut environmental damage on Valentine's Day by buying potted plants.(STAFF WRITER, WITH DPA)
男人都錯了！根據星期一公佈的一項調查發現，大部分女人寧願情人節當天不要收到鮮花。
有將近七成的受訪男性認為，他們的另一半喜歡在情人節當天收到花束，但只有兩成半的女性說喜歡在情人節收到花。
有九成二的受訪女性說她們寧願收到別的禮物，像是巧克力或甚至是男朋友的求婚；很多女性認為花既不實用又昂貴。
很多女性覺得男性不需要買很貴的禮物來表現他們的愛，相反的，她們喜歡男性用其他的方式來展現浪漫的一面。例如，有些男性會將兩人的相片集結成剪貼簿。
香港環保團體「環保觸覺」為此調查訪問了將近四百位男女；該團體一直呼籲大家以盆栽代替鮮花，好減少情人節送花對環境造成的傷害。（德通社／翻譯：楊鴻泰）
