Are you opposed to staking the spike? That would put you in control of how much the spike leans toward the curtain.

Another possibility is bonsai wire, which could be wrapped around the spike and then bent lightly to guide the growth of the spike.

Personally, I don't like to let blossoms touch much of anything if I can help it. Damage to the blossom will discolor it.
