Re: choking?
Basically, one leaf didn't emerge properly (due to underwatering, cold weather, rot or a host of other reasons) and "plugged" things up. the plant continues to grow and send up leaves and they finally burst out at the point of least resistance. When a flower spike does the same thing, or only partly emerges from the pseudostem, we call it choking. the plant will most likely be just fine.
