Alcohol I presume, just a little squaggle!

Mine get wonky like that if I've underwatered them while they were in spike. And like Rick said, the heat of the summer can play tricks.

I think it's not uncommon for a Phrag's first flower to be somewhat deformed. Hopefully, the next one will be better.

Correct Eric, the banana benders have a beer named, XXXX. Some would suggest the flavour relates to the name also.

Hi Albert,
It could be from some chemical use, insecticide, fungicide or hormones.... Phrags are sensitive to those....
This happen twice in the past for me; I did learn not to try new stuff on all the plants at a time...We all know that but we don’t do it... Experiences!
1) Somebody at our society brought a new supposed miraculous product ‘alginic acid’ this was supposed to be fantastic... He was a good vendor! I try it once few drop in my barrel... All the new flowers were deformed...
2) I had to buy some safer insecticide soap one day, usually I’m using the one with pyrethrum this one is ok, but that day at the store only the one with potash salt left. After one spray of it, few days later when the buds did open all the flowers were deformed again.
Hope it help....

How many of the suggestions are possibilities for you? I think it's a hard thing to pinpoint. If it continues then you might want to try changing one thing at a time. As I said in my Lucy Robbins post - nature is funny!

Me neither!! I visited Cannes & Port Douglas in 1998; don't remember seeing banana trees. But I was sort of busy watching out for big spiders (kind of a phobia of mine, especially after seeing one the size of my hand in Port Douglas).
