The structure of a candle flame is very different from your blow torch 
flames (with oxygen premixed with gas).
Also your left-most flame is way too squat (impaired convection/cooler burn) 
suggesting a radically different fuel.
Candles have heated but unburned fuel at the bottom of the volatile mass, 
and near the top where combustion peaks you get incandescent carbon 
particles and gas, then rather abruptly nothing.

I suggest you do a google image search on "candle flame"
e.g. http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/shared/news2000/flames/candles-large.jpg
even better light a candle and take a good long analytical look at it...
