Place your bets - Coelogyne flacida or lactea
I bought this orchid two months ago for $5 at my orchid society meeting. Nobody wanted her. It was named lactea. After transplanting it, giving it some morning sun and a little fertilizer, it sent up a flower spike. The spike hangs down. After reading about it, they say the difference between the two is lactea has an upright spike while flacida's hands down. I'm thinking it's a flacida and was named incorrectly. Thoughts?
