Default Pelorism? x2

Deformation from what???? Just the way things go? I can't think of anything
I've done except not repotted this in 2 years. Last bloom 6 mos ago was so
good I almost brought it in for judging. Ploidy problem? grrr. Its
ticking me off.

Nope. Merely deformation.

Pelorism is defined as having symmetry where it is not expected - e.g.,
petals modified so they look like lips, lip modified so it looks like a
petal, either giving us three where there should be one lip and three
"ordinary" petals.
