Hi Gramma, Just noticed that no body has answered.
Could be aphids, slugs, grasshoppers or some type of worm???
You could spray with soapy water & alcohol.
I would move that plant away from the others just to be
on the safe side.

Thanks Wendy - I didn't want to spray until I knew something that was safe
to use.
Isn't alcohol just great for sooooooo many things [g]

What I have done is cut off the offending flower and brought the plant
inside.
I found some itchy titchy black specks that looked forever like dirt crumbs
on the underside of one leave and I wiped them off with a cloth, although
they weren't moving or anything. Then I just went round and wiped all the
other leaves with a soft damp cloth and at the moment it is looking good
