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.

It’s s big genus with a wide range of habitats, so I doubt there’s a single answer. 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.

Hi,
I looked on the PBS wiki when Hippeastrum bloom, and it does not say.
I'm searching for some text I could add to fix that.
