Flower Power

Flower has been part of our culture between lovers and friends. The meaning of it has also flowed with time but starting to disappear. Each flower has its own stories and meaning behind them. Imagine receiving a flower from your love one and how special  it would be to know the message it carries...
So Polka's pick of the 'Flower of the Day' would be Forget-Me-Not.

FORGET-ME-NOT: True love, hope, remembrance, memories.

It was supposed, that the wearer of forget-me-not will not be forgotten by their lover. It is said in a German legend that the name of the flower came from when God was naming all of the plants. He happens to miss out one little blue cluster, which then the flowers cried "Forget me not, O Lord!" and that's how they got their name. Another less religious story would be the story of when a soldier and his lover was walking by the river side. He picked a posy of flowers, but then fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the flower to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not!". It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love. And thus we present you 'Forget-me-not'.

Love,
POLKA

Lovely Video

This is a lovely video we love. The music is done by a Brooklyn based electro indie pop group made up of three lovely girls, Erika, Annie and Heather; Au Revoir Simone. Their music is just so lovely and addictive, you'll want to keep listening. Few of our favorite tracks would be "The lucky one", "Take me as I am" and "A violent yet flammable world".  Check out more of them at their official website here. Or Myspace link over here. Enjoy!

Love,
POLKA
