Default Oops!

So I bought a phal plant from Walmart, and soon after it was done blooming (or maybe before) I got worried that the pot wasn't draining properly, so I uprooted it to check. What I found was not one plant with rotted roots, but two! So I doctored them as best I can and they are still alive, and the one that wasn't in flower had a spike on it, which I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

So A few weeks later, the flowers have long gone off the first plant and its still chugging along (I hope... it only has one root left), and the other one developed buds on it's spike. But here's the fun part.... the flower doesn't look like the other flowers..... so I have a case of mistaken identity.

Not only that... but it looks like the flower got lazy when it was mostly open, and one petal is now stuck out front.

So here is a picture of the plant as I got it from Walmart, called Little Mary x King Shiang, and then the picture of the new flower.... I dunno it doesn't look at all like the same plant to me
