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.
