Bokeh is the quality of oof areas, some claim it is only lights forming circles, cat's eyes or multi sided. Depth if field refers to how much is in focus. Choice of dof is an artistic decision that is critical for my portraiture and for flowers, it is your choice to decide how much dof is your vision for the shot. You may want tack sharp from front to back or you may want to isolate and emphasize a portion of the flower by keeping only that area in focus. Some folks who want deep dof will shoot several shots at different focus and stack them. I shoot in manual so my exposure doesnt change as I recompose a shot but also so I can choose my aperture/dof. Aperture priority would work where you get to choose the aperture and the camera sets shutter speed.
