Can anyone tell me why my sunflower is closed up? It didnt look like this a few days ago, it was completely open, it has a smaller flower on its side so i thought it had to do with that but im at a loss of what i can do any suggestions?

    It does look deformed.  Possible damage or a biological problem, Could also be genetic.

    If I cut off the main head will the buds still grow?
