Thank you Roberta for your reply. I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong. This is the 4th year this one blooms and never had this issue before.
By the way, love that Sagan’s quote too.
Best regards from Canada
Glad you enjoyed one of my favorite quotes...
For the flower, I think this is just a one-off mutation... doo doo occurs...
Mutation. And quite spectacular in my humble opinion
