Anyone else find Flower Fasciation interesting? Always enjoy making wacky foliage and flowers

What a crazy surprise! My potted English daisies got a flower proliferation! One flower just started growing another flower right out of the middle. Flower proliferation like this can be brought on by frost damage or a genetic mutation. Not sure why mine did this, but it does look cool.

And now we get to see what a really deformed orchid flower looks like! It looks as though the lateral petals became fused to the anther cap like a shroud, leaving only the sepals around the outside of the flower. I'm wondering if these mutations can be caused by the cold, or by the shock of a sudden repot? Either way, I'm more fascinated than disappointed.
