Nerium florogenesis and embryo development

Hi,

I found an online abstract about flowering in Nerine. I didn't realize it
but the flowers begin their development (in the bulb) 2 years before we see
them. Does anyone know how widespread this phenomenon is in the Amaryllidaceae?
Does it explain why some plants are prone to miss a year (of flowering) after
they are moved?

Cordially,

Joe in Conroe, TX, nice Spring-like weather this week.
