Is my Mexican Flame Vine not blooming right or am I going crazy?

It seems to me that the blooms of my Mexican flame vine (Senecio confusus) are not opening up fully. Something is not right with the flowers, as I'm sure they are normally large (as I've seen them on the internet), except my flowers seem dwarf-like or "stunted" if that makes sense. It did take the buds 2 months to unfurl. Something was never right with the flowering to begin with!

A history: I bought the seeds of this plant more than a year ago. It grew fast, only to give me "dwarfy" flowers with short stubby petals. Maybe the sun isn't the strong in that part of the yard? It's pretty frustrating tbh.
