Haemanthus Season (What Causes This?)
John Grimshaw (Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:19:36 PDT)

Winter-growing Haemanthus are also coming into flower here - buds appeared
in the dry resting pots a few days ago and are expanding rapidly now that
they are being watered. Cooler temperatures (or a sudden drop in
temperature) may be a trigger and seem more probable than daylength. We have
certainly progressed into cool 'autumnal' weather - has anyone else noted a
cooling event that could have caused flowering to start?

Does anyone know what actually triggers the blooms or the new season growth?
