Expert Response
Your flower is filled with aphids. They may cause distortion, curling, and cause the flower to brown or become miscolored.
You can do nothing (plant will still survive), spray off with a strong spray of water or use insecticide (neem oil, insecticidal soap if temperatures below 90 F).
