Mutant Zinna

Little mutant zinna. I have 2 of them. Anyone know what causes this?

Yes, when Zinnias inbreed they will have recessive traits like above. New hybrid Zinnia seeds are crossed with two different parents. The one above has the same parents and is inbred. This is common and happens from last year's Zinnia seed dropping the following year.
