Just looks like something took a bite out of it. It's nothing to worry about.

Something was rubbing against that part of the bulb when it was growing up.

Earwigs don't eat green growth. They eat old rotting debris down in the pot.

When earwigs get into the growing crown of a Cym. they will eat through the new leaves, leaving holes as the leaves elongate and mature.

Wow. I didn't know that. I've had earwigs forever and never had any issues with them as far as flowers or new growth is concerned. I'll keep an eye out for them.
