Which flower variety or varieties, would you most want to (seriously
or humorously) send to someone, who a loved spouse or partner of ours,
has left you to be with and please say why, for any flower variety
mentioned.

A Wallflower to the one left behind.

But seriously I would ask 'Why did they leave?' He/she was not giving enough 
attention/love/care for the partner to look elsewhere, why 'blame' the 
person who was the 'attraction'?

LILY OF THE VALLEY: Return of happiness, purity of heart, sweetness, tears 
of the Virgin Mary, you've made my life complete, humility, happiness. The 
legend of the lily of the valley is that it sprang from Eve's tears when she 
was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It is also believed that this flower 
protects gardens from evil spirits. Also known as the flower of May.

I wonder if that is why it grows as a weed in our garden ;-)  Happiness, 
purity of heart, sweetness.

None. When you're hurting you feel like lashing out; but that doesn't 
make it a good thing to do, and you'll probably regret it later. (Unless 
letting of steam in this fashion helps you avoid doing something worse.)

I recal a film in which the lead actress carries a baby for the devil. Set
in an appartment block the old lady next door appears friendly but isn't and
gives her a root of somethig (Tarris root?) to "help" her.

Anyone remember the name of the film and the root?

I'd give them so twelve dozen roses and a note that said, "Thank you!"

Let them mull THAT over for a while.

Unfortunately according to wikipedia Tannis Root used in the film was
fictional. Oh well.

Daisies, or something bright, like 10 AM.  Just to show him or her that 
you've moved on and that you're happy that they're happy

But then again, if they believe in AGW then kick him or her to the curb.

That's right. All of us with Southern accents are bumbling idiots. We aren't 
even smart enough to figure out why the "accept everyone who is different" 
Democrats are losing their hold on the South.
