Cornelia Wieg, curator of the Staatliche Galerie Moritzburg in Halle, Germany, took a photograph of a tree bark in the garden of the Novalis Haus in Weissenfels. Finlay rotated a fragment of this photograph and found the Blue Flower from the unfinished last novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen (1802) by Novalis, which became a symbol of Romanticism.
