Heilbronn is
a city in northern Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It is surrounded by Heilbronn
County and, with approximately 123,000 residents, it is the sixth-largest city
in the state. After the demise of the Staufen dynasty, King Rudolf I returned
city status to Heilbronn in 1281 and installed a regal advocate to rule the
city. In addition to the advocate he put a council in place that was headed up
by a mayor. Source
A blue flower
is a central symbol of inspiration. It stands for desire, love, and the
metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. It symbolizes hope and
the beauty of things. David Lynch uses the symbol of the blue flower in the
2010 short film "Lady Blue Shanghai", a 16-minute, promotional short
film for fashion designer Dior, starring among others Marion Cotillard. In the
film a blue flower is hidden in a Dior handbag, at first feared and finally
embraced by the female protagonist. It may be said that Lynch is associating the
handbag with "divine" inspiration and creativity. Stanley Kubrick
made use of the Blue Flower in his final film, Eyes Wide Shut. Sandor Szavost is wearing one while dancing with Alice Harford.
In the movie follow-up to David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks, entitled Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, two
FBI agents are informed about their upcoming task through a woman named Lil. On
her lapel is a tiny, artificial blue rose, clearly symbolic of something; but
when Sam asks, Chet simply replies, "But I can't tell you about
that." The rapper Kool Keith released a single entitled "Blue
Flowers" as part of the 1996 album Dr. Octagonecologyst. Source
