Tim, the lilies do look nice against that BG, and I like the lighting direction. I might suggest a polarizer to cut down on the petal glare. Just my preference.

Bill, it was a large stand of salvia. It became a solid blue with the bokeh.

I've looked at this and am drawn bck to it several times. Very cool image. Reminds me of a Chihuly sculpture.

Kathy,
Thank you! That was exactly what I had envisioned when I was setting up the shot.
