That Grape Hyacinth is tiny......I was practically lying on the street in the park to get this shot. The background bokeh is caused by regular hyacinths.

Pretty subject and lovely bokeh but a litle lonely by itself in the corner, nice though.

Candy sweet and nice, of course. This rule of thirds annoys me sometimes. The flower could go higher to show more of its slender stem and more centered; I incline unintentionally the head to the left.
