CONCORD, CA — Terrence Williams of Concord sent in this amazing photo.

"I was totally surprised to see the first bloom from my 5-year-old White Orchid upside down," Williams wrote in an email to Patch. "Shot (no editing or photoshop) in front of the white drapes of my daughter's window. How rare is it for an orchid to bloom this way?"
