Flower power is alive and well at San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers. This gloriously restored 1878 Victorian greenhouse is home to freaky outer-space orchids, serene floating lilies and creepy carnivorous plants gobbling insect lunches. Summer solstice is celebrated with free psychedelic summer light shows at the Conservatory – check the website for dates.
