Nitpicking:
The bokeh is not a function of the aperture blades/shape/number. Bokeh disc shape is, only if you stop down of course.
And with this lens, where it mostly is about wide open shooting, the number of aperture blades or the shape of them is not very important.
The lens' main claim, bubble bokeh, does not really come out that well. It seems partly because you choose the wrong subjects/background, and because the lens simply does not have THAT strong a bokeh disc outline.
This is a better example of why the term is "bubble bokeh" (meyer diaplan 100mm f2.8),:

And a better subject and example for using it.
The swirly bokeh is because of the mechanical vignetting by the back of the lens.
