Summertime
With late spring rains followed by warm temps, our urban garden is offering lots of blooms for today’s solstice. The flowers range from a small, pastel Epidendrum to an Orchid Cactus with brilliant red blossoms as big as dinner plates.
Fittingly for the first day of summer, we’re having a heat wave. I’ve got my work cut out for me watering and trying to keep the humidity up for the orchids. The season’s bounty will be easier to enjoy if the fog returns tomorrow as predicted. It promises to be a colorful summer.

I’m so jealous of your garden. I love that orchid cactus. I wonder if it will grow where I live.
