Port 80 on my origin, but SSL via cloudflare

I'd like to keep using port 80 on my non-important origin apache server, and I was under the impression if I proxied the DNS via CF, CF could provide https for the domain for client->CF communication and get CF to communicate with my origin server on port 80. I've got SSL set to flexible, but CF can't seem to connect. Is there a way to tell CF to communicate with the origin on port 80 always?

so CF can connect to my origin on 443 even without a valid cert on my server without issue?

ah so mine is flexible which means even if the client attemps https:// CF will connect to my origin on port 80, according to that doc
