Lestv said: The bend is weather related. Absolute will have straight stems for you in the future.
The cold also causes the folding and crinkling of the leaves like you have in your last picture. I have found when a bud is stuck in the leaf like yours is, that if I gently (very gently) pull open the leaf, or cut it away if need be, the bud then continues to develop and bloom. Otherwise you may get a half opened squashed bloom that turns mushy next to the stalk. I really love to see my blooms so I am crazy enough to take such measures. Fortunately I have been rewarded most of the time. Just don't knock the bud off!
