You can join a blend to a path to control the shape and orientation of the blend.
When you join a blend to a path, the center point of the first object in the blend is
placed over the path's start point, and the center point of the last object is placed
over the end point. The rest of the blend is distributed along the path.
By default, the blend is rotated on the path so that the orientation of each blend
objects changes to follow the path. You can subselect the path and reverse its
direction to make the blend flow in the opposite direction.
