 Shot on my balcony. Some oregeno that I planted. Nothing special. I wasn't going to enter because I got frustrated listening to people argue about what is or isn't bokeh.

I'm sure I'll regret this

I gave you an 8 - I really liked the semi-zenlike quality of this.

Well, you certainly have bokeh in this shot. ;) Two things. I think the entries that did best had a completely focused subject while having a very unfocused background. Not to say that you have to do it that way, but I think the OOF portion of your subject hurt you a bit. The second also relates. Look at the four leaves above the sharp one. I noticed these when I voted and didn't like their haloing. It could totally be your lens (or it may be PP), but I would call this "bad" bokeh. The rest of the shot is pleasant, but those four leaves made me give you a 5.

Very shallow dop really makes a single leaf interesting. I love the bokeh in the background. 9

Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a plant - I have nothing against plants/flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!

The bokeh is very nice but the main subject is not very strong.

wish to see the whole leaf, but good idea tho. "zen" feeling?
