It is not what you thought hehehe.
It is another case of undivine intervention.
The flower spike happened to grow snug/parallel to the leaf, and even though it and the buds nudging the leaf may grow away from the leaf later ------ I prefer to just make sure there is clearance between buds and leaf.
One possible solution is shown hehehe.
Even a rock or any hard and light-weight thing of suitable size and shape should do the trick hehe.
This isn't the first time time I've done this. Other people probably do something similar too if they do encounter the same sort of situation.
