    It looks like Botyritis (fungal) to me. Most likely the flowers were wet and air circulation was not as it should be.

    it could have been mechanical damage to the flower or bud.

    Mechanical damage is probably it if the flowers have not been wet.

    That looks to me like over spray. It is really easy to do and only takes a drop when there is not really good air circulation. The blooms are fine. I would not worry.

    Cheers,
