I think you have the approval of your fans JimboB. Count me in too. Bokeh and clarity go together like peas and carrots.

Good focus work in the photo with a lovely blurred background. Nice colours and textures in the bud and stem. A little work could be done on the light levels, on both the high and low ends, if desired. Best of luck in the contest.
