don't work real well as anagraph.. to much offset

It appears to work to me, not perfect, but, the effect is there, the ferns in the front and the building show decent depth.

Would help if the blooms were in focus

Thought of taking a photo?

I was certainly not implying that you had not personally taken the photo. Just suggesting if you can't find one that fits the theme among your hundreds of photos, why not take a new one?

Although this is an example of bokeh author, it would be better image if something were actually in focus...you might want to consider a different image.
