When would you say Hippeastrum bloom?

I grow most outdoors in Austin, in the ground.  Dormancy induces flowering in many of them and here that means they flower in spring as they break dormancy, with a few exceptions - aulicum in December and reticulatum after summer dormancy.  Papilio follows the others, for me.  On a greenhouse cycle many can be induced in any season.

Under my greenhouse conditions, H. aulicum, H. papilio, and H. calyptratum bloom in autumn or early winter after a short summer dormancy.  H. striatum blooms late winter to spring.  Hippeastrum x johnsonii, Hippeastrum ‘Meade Strain’, and Sonatini hybrids grown outdoors (zone 7) bloom in late spring after winter dormancy.
