    I've had that happen and have removed the bad leaves. The plant still bloomed fine.

    Gosh what a mess!! Do you know what is attacking it by any chance? I think I'd do as Netty says and remove all the bad leaves - no point in the plant trying to feed them when they're in that state is there? :(
