There is no blue flower in the picture but there is a reminiscence to
the "Blue Flower" seen as a symbolic reference to Romanticism - 
including lyric, music and painting.
Novalis, a German 18th century writer, used the "Blaue Blume" as
metaphor for search for the unreachable, desire and unfulfilled love.
