1st picture are the deformed petals.
2nd picture shows how it was 6 months ago.
Temps. have been around 25 deg.C down to 17 deg.C. We have had a lot of rain.
Anyone help me.

looks like its tried to form 2 flowers in the same place

It looks like it just is deformed. Maybe Mother nature made a mastake on this blooming? Have you used Superthrive on it? I have heard from some members on the forum that too much Superthrive can cause deformed flowers. I have never had that happen though. I don't know if something other than those things would cause that. You will probably just have to see what it looks like next time. Let us know what happens next time it blooms.

its the rains...it supersaturated the buds ...and the drastic temperature drop from 25 down to 17 ...youre lucky it opened its blooms instead of budblast

With the temps. here, during the day it is 25 deg.and o/night 17deg. Could a virus do this to a bloom?
