Celebrate summer’s arrival with an orchid rainbow. Today’s solstice signals a change of seasons around the globe. The colorful blooms, courtesy of Dave’s camera, are all from last winter’s Pacific Orchid Expo.

Of course, a true rainbow would include the color indigo, but naturally blue orchids are tough to come by, and deep blue is even rarer. The orchid family’s outrageous diversity includes a wide range of hues, but not many blues. Fortunately, the tiny Cleisocentron in the bottom row is a reliable, true-blue bloomer. Now go out and enjoy summer.
