They are probably not "mutant" flowers, but "deformed" flowers. Do the offspring have the new shape?For example from https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=mutant+flowers

The flowers in the florist shop are filtered and you only see the good locking flowers.

The image doesn't have a clear caption, but it's probably from Virginia in the summer 2004.
