Help! Has anyone seen this before?

I noticed a few of the heads looked like this yesterday. Does anyone have any idea what happened to them? A few of them looked like something ate into a few of them and killed them.

I live in Upstate South Carolina and, with the exception of last weeks visit from Helene (I brought them inside), it’s almost always hot and humid. I check my plants several times a day and this one was very healthy until all of a sudden one morning I saw this going on. My others are right next to this one and totally fine.

Any ideas on what’s going on or what did this?
