Phal with Flower Spike from Leaf Growing Point

[pinkypurple]

Hi, I saw a gorgeous phal today that I almost snapped up, but when I got it to the till I noticed that there was an old, cut-off, flower spike, that was smack bang in the middle of the growing point! Coming straight out of the very top of the orchid, Where the new leaves should grow from.

I've never seen this before so was wondering if this orchid is still viable or would that flower spike have busted the growing point, which it is completely through the middle of.

I put that orchid back and chose another but I really want that one, if it will be able to grow leaves still. Does anyone know if it can?
