LOL Joyce, I usually do not look at doubles like that. So I have no clue if it is "normal." I will tell you that they have all sorts of odd things going on inside of them. I wish I had taken a pic of the guts of one I ripped open yesterday. It was packed with all sorts of weird petals.
It will be too far gone looking now.

But they have extra thingies inside. Sometimes extra anthers too which can be in between other weird petals. I have noticed not all doubles are what I call clean doubles with just 2 skirts that you can look up easily with no extra petals anywhere. And different flowers on the same tree can have different layers of petals.

Is your weather changing fast and causing the bud drop? Lots of time it is the light change. The trouble with them blooming now is they won't show their true selves. The could look so different in the heat of summer. I sure hope you get a great colored one.

Here is a new one that just opened for me. It is thick with extra petals. It is the one I ripped open. It had so many layers of petals inside, long and short. It was heavy! Here it is a bit old, I didn't see it till late.
