Question: I would like your comments on this abnormality, I've seen
lots of these wildflowers but never anything like this.

Answer: This is common in most plants. It is called fasciation. It is
most often caused by some kind of damage after the bloom buds are set
such as a freeze. Webster defines it thus: "a malformation of plant
stems commonly manifested as enlargement and flattening as if several
stems were fused". See also photos of Mountain Laurel, Red Bluebonnet
and Sago Palm.
