Tropicals & Tender Perennials: petal problem ?, 0 by balvenie

My one brug with blossoms seems to have a problem. So far three of the blooms which have come closest to opening fully have had one tendril which has failed to grow. On the attached photo there is a distortion on part of the corolla that I don't understand. Possibly due to moisture ? or what i don't know. Maybe not a problem, but as a rank novice I have to ask a lot of questions. There is also the curiosity of several flowers bursting out of the calyx at an obscene angle instead of nice and orderly. Is this a common trait ? Any advice will be joyfully accepted.
