Jenny, I'm not Marilyn, but I don't think this is your problem. I've got
lace caps in a fair amount of sun (for my garden) in a hotter zone than
yours and they form full flowers. Having said that, sorry I have no words
of wisdom on what *could* be causing your incomplete blooms. What you're
seeing is actually the fertile flower. The part you're missing are the
showy, sterile outer flower ring.
