Something strange with my courgette flowers

Hi everyone! I found a strangely looking female courgette flower today. It looks like it wasn't really ready for opening, but opened for some reason. In the afternoon another flower on my other courgette plant started to open like this too. Has anyone seen this before? is it something wrong with my plants? What should I do with this flowers?

It produced two perfectly normal little courgettes before. And now this.... I looked at the middle to pollinate it anyway and the middle was green too.... So I dont think this female flower will turn into a courgette. I'm just hoping the same thing won't happen to all future female flowers.
It looks part of the normal variety of such things to me

Thank you all! Hopefully it really is ok. I am a gardening beginner and probably sometimes worry too much.
