Wow, nicely done. I realy like the purple against the green background bokeh. I especially like the little glistens in the background as well. Overall a very strong image. I think what could have made this a stronger image would have been softer lighting, possibly from a reflector. A very aesthetically pleasing and technically sound shot. (Im a sucker for flowers too)

fireworks in green and purple - very dramatic use of repeating shapes

Is it the bokeh or the water droplets that do the magic?

I like the sparkly bokeh. I think the flower in the foreground is either over sharpened, or has too much water. The drops are distracting to me.

The bokeh is really pretty. Nice composition, too. I might shift the hue of the yellow-greens to greener and desaturate slightly to better complement the purples.

The water droplets glistening add a nice effect.
