IJsbrandtGA,
Yes, as josieskid stated that is a proliferation. I think the scape is just laying on the pavement after being pulled, but still I think you have a good chance of getting a living plant form it, and yes it should eventually bloom and it should be a "duplicate" of the plant it was growing on. I think most people prefer to leave them on the scapes and leave the scapes growing as long as possible hoping for roots to establish on the proliferation. Then you can cut the scape about an inch above the proliferation and according to how large the proliferation is cut the scape low enough below the proliferation to allow it to act as a support when pushed into the soil. Some people prefer to just grow them in water, so if you do that just cut the scape just above and just below the proliferation then just keep the base of the prolif just touching the water. Once the roots have established themselves, you can plant it into soil. Sometimes I have good luck growing proliferations, sometimes they just wither and die. I do prefer putting them directly into the soil (often near the mother plant just so I can remember what it is) without having to make a label.
