I'm not a huge fan of the trope, but from my limited understanding and experience, the original one is the confession version.
IF it was originated in the Japanese fandom, which I assume it was, the confession version was the only version I ever saw years ago, when it exploded in the novel section of pixiv. (for manga fandom I'm more into japanese fics than english ones)
It was a metaphor for words not said that slowly kills your true self.
You can see this trope a lot also in manga or strips where a character, usually a tsundere, has flowers/hearts around them to signal the fact that they have feelings that they don't say but only think/show. That's the fluffier version of hanahaki I think.
The stories usually end up with a good ending of "THE FEELING IS REQUIRED NOW WE ARE TOGETHER", but the required love is not what solve the hanahaki disease. It's saying the words.

IDK though. Maybe it was originally invented in the western fandom and then adapted into the Japanese one. Who knows.
