Patch wants to know the Readers' Choice.

It's your last chance to help Patch crown the latest Readers' Choice champ. We need you; don't let us down! Mother's Day is May 13, so now is the time to consider what to do to celebrate her special occasion.

If that sounds vague, good: You get to make the final determination. And if there is a contestant you consider worthy that is not on the list, let us know.

What's Your Favorite Parsippany Florist?

Help Patch crown the Readers' Choice.

Time for a new Readers' Choice challenge: This week, Patch wants to know where you most love to find flowers, plants and floral arrangements. Parsippany is blessed to have some fine florists within its boundaries. In this Internet age, it's easy for some to go through some national company that has no real interest in this township—and for the purpose of the Readers' Choice poll, we have no interest in them. We care about homegrown businesses, florists with a true personal touch because, for them, the people of Parsippany are of personal interest to them. With that in mind, we ask the fateful question: What is your favorite area florist? Here's how you can help determine our readers' favorite: This week's contestants: Voting in the poll …
