    This is one of my favorites, starting to fill up a 12" basket, with about 35, 3"-4" flowers - incredible fragrance.

    Last pic shows a deformed flower - the side lobes look like they didn't develop properly. There are several like this on this blooming.

    Anyone know what environmental factors or pests/pathogens might cause something like this? TIA.
