Sorry Ray. This post reads crabbier than I intended. I intended it to look
mostly puzzled, not challenging or angry, and it reads angry/crabby to me.
Wendy reminds me that I did spray with an orthene a few weeks ago, but I'd a
thought the buds were further along in formation and wouldn't cripple.... I
guess not!
Again, sorry if you misinterpreted my post.

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.
