Photo of normal stigma?

Hmmm...well, this is supposed to be a DS, or so I've been told. I posted a pic of it in full bloom this past summer and someone saw the serrated leaves. (I also remember that some were and some were not serrated, but was told that the leaves dont get serrated untill they get some size on them, that the younger leaves were smooth.)
Anyway, the flowers these elongated stigma's come from are narrow/skinny, and never "belled out" like the others in the pic. They stayed like they were, then this thing kept growing out. Any environmental reasons that would cause that? (Cool conditions, lack of food or light, etc?)

Glad to know Brugs have perfect flowers, or usually do. These long skinny ones seem to be imperfect tho. Take a look:
