 The light behind the flower is from the sun streaming past my neighbor's houses in late afternoon. Moved the flower around to get an interesting pattern in the bokeh. Very quirky, but I like it.

PP - cropped, white balance, levels, increased saturation and contrast, 2nd layer (Gaussian blur, merged in multiply mode), resized, sharpened, hand-sharpened and dodged bits of violet some more.

I really like this picture, I think maybe the flower could have been at a better angle, but still very good. 9
