Bruised paph. spike - is the bud a goner?

[alexharisiadis]

I was excited about the new spike and bud that my paph has developed—the first one under my care—and I wanted to make sure that the spike would be trained properly for the most elegant display.

Unfortunately, I was a bit overzealous with attempting to secure the young spike with a twist tie. The result was that I seemingly bruised the spike. As you can see in the photo, a rather disconcerting brown patch has developed near the area where I attempted to secure the spike.

My question is whether this apparent plant tissue damage will cause the bud to fall off, or if there’s still hope for the bud and spike as it grows and strengthens. Thanks!
