I have two of them I purchased, as my wife liked them. Mine have bloomed repeatedly usually twice a year with no problems in flowers being deformed. It could be you have a problem plant or more likely some environmental factor cause the aberration this flowering. I have seen several plants over the years where one or more flowers vary from normal due to some environmental factor or physical damage. I usually ignore it and the next year the plant blooms normally.
