That is a rhetorical question.
I'm sorry about having to go over this, as I was not predisposed of how much you already know about them. But - As I mentioned, the combination of both Sunshine and Warmth seem to trigger flowering more than simply going from winter to spring or summer to fall (hot to cold). For instance, when we occasionally have our warm, sunny Christmas times, I will often see flowers develop a couple weeks later on various cultivars.

Again, sorry about the difference in our language use, but I am very happy to help clear up anything not understood.

Have a great evening!
RJ
