Subject: [pbs] Cyrtanthus herrei ... where the heck are the stigmas/styles?

Does C.herrei produce no pistil or have multiple stigma/styles? I have been unable to ID the stigma (stigmas?) in these florets. There appear to be 6 appendages matching the 6 stamens, but these do not seem receptive. My close-up vision is waning as I pass through my sixth decade. Help!
