Tokina 11-20 bokeh

Out and about for only the second time with my new Tokina 11-20mm f/1.8 (on a D5300) and accidentally discovered beautiful, somewhat 'sparkly' bokeh in the background of a couple of shots of flowers on trees, in Kew Gardens, London. I wasn't expecting this result but I like it!
Especially on the cow parsley (white flowers) shot, I actaully quite like the even greater complexity this brings to a photo with a really shallow depth of field. The eye keeps moving around trying to make sense of it.

Here's another example of the 'sharp' bokeh. Anyone know why this occurs? I've not seen it with my other lenses.

Very nice pics. Especially the last one :) Well done! I too have a 5300 and strongly consider this lens. Especially after seeing your results. Oh, you might want to fix the initial post: This lens is no where near f/1.8 ! You should change that "1" into a "2". - Sadly :( Nice lens nevertheless.
