Long flower stalks. Lots of buds, but no open flowers yet.

I went back to look at this, and the flowers don't look any different than in picture 3. They don't seem to open much more than a few millimetres (picture 4) and don't look at all like the pictures available of flax lily flowers... Maybe this is a stunted version of this plant due to poor soil? I opened up one of the flowers, and there was what seemed like a large green seed in it (see picture 5).

Yes there does appear to be something impacting the flowering structure. Perhaps heat or some kind of pathogen
