Gibberellins

This flowering plant is able to look this way as a result of hormones called gibberellins. The primary job of these hormones is to regulate growth. While these hormones are being released, other factors such as flowering are also being affected. The reason that these flowers are way above the ground and not merely poking out on the surface is because the gibberellins have influenced how long the stem will grow out.
