phal spike has hooked tip

[glengary54]

Gage - I'm not so convinced that the original spike tip will continue to grow. I think that the node below the damage was activated because of the non viable tip. Remember, the only purpose a flower serves to the plant is to get pollinated, make seed and hopefuly make more plants. So in this case the plant activated the node in a move to preserve the gene pool, I may be terribly wrong but these were my thoughts. Only time will tell.
