I remember reading that Pink Perfektion's flaw was producing many distorted flowers. Salmon Perfektion supposedly does not. I have Salmon Perfektion, but decided to pass on Pink Perfektion. Having said that about Pink Perfektion, sometimes the first blooms of the season can do some strange things. I've had some Brugs produce shredded flowers, distorted ones and singles instead of doubles. As the plant matures and gets larger you get better looking flowers assuming there are no genetic problems in the first place.

This is a photo of Citrine, usually a perfectly normal looking single yellow. All the flowers in her first flush, the first season I had her, were shredded. Later flushes were normal.
