Hi Kim, it will be a nice experiment to do, to see if the leaves from the flower stalk will thrive, the only thing is, the leaves looks too young, since the plant was really pushing all its energy towards the buds, not sure if there is enough energy on the leaves there. Keep us posted if it will do so, set those leaves in a warm, part shade are and see if it will root.
I normally just ignore those leaves, since the mother plant often makes new growth in between leaves or near the base of mother plant, or sometimes a rosette on the bloom stalk itself.
How does your mother plant look like right now, maybe it can still grow a new bloomstalk, sometimes it is generous to push out one more stalk.
