Velvety spikes of purple Mexican bush sage stretch diagonally across the frame, showcasing a texture of soft, fuzzy florets with delicate white tips. A shallow depth of field renders the central cluster in sharp focus while dissolving the surrounding blooms and green foliage into a soft, abstract bokeh. Bright, high-contrast sunlight illuminates the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the petals against the washed-out background of the Nunobiki Herb Gardens.
