My lavender only opened 40%. However, the color is not bright pretty blue anymore, and it looks brownish. And the smell is no longer lavender smell, it has some rancid smell. if I use hand to squeeze them, I still can smell a little lavender. The red arrows show the flower not opened. The green arrows show the flower were already opened. The yellow arrow show the ugly brownish thing, what is it? Why did this happen? What should I do? ps: i live in san diego CA, this is Grosso lanvendar in a 5 gallon pot on the 2nd floor balcony with a good amount of San Diego sun.
