I see that first problem several times each year but not very often on the same flower, I just think all blooms have a bad hair day, I don't think you will ever get seed from a bloom with that problem.
The second and last problem may be related, looks like they are pushing them selves out of the ground, sometimes I see that in pots as the plant grows the roots push it up.
The third thing we call summer dormancy, which is common in this area after bloom and the temps start to climb.
