My dear friend and neighbor Cindy Dyer has some crazy-looking colorful flowers in her garden, like this one, which I think is some kind of double Tiger Lily. The not-yet-opened petals in the center of the flower at this stage of development remind me of the tentacles of an octopus. I love the way the fence in the background turned out, with all of the colorful bokeh balls in parallel columns.

Very interesting image Mike!
Bokeh balls?
Bokeh refers to the “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. At certain times you get these cool out-of focus colored circles. It is an effect seen most often at Christmas time when you often see shots of a Christmas tree with colorful lights.
