Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Brug cuttings blooming-, 1 by Gitagal

I have 2 Brugs i took cuttings from last Fall--"Maya" and my "Rose Souvelons".
My tip cuttings did not do well, nor did any of them in the water-rooting method--even with the bubbler.....

So--I had to re-cut my cuttings and root the remaining, stubby, stem cuttings--ALL above the "Y".

Because I had no seeds to worry about yet--I kept all my cuttings under the lights on the seed rack and they thrived! Really grew nice leaves, etc...

THEN--in mid February--one of the Maya Cuttings made flower buds! WHOA!!! Never saw that before!!! It was close to opening just in time for Jills Seed Swap end of February....I "doodied" the one ready to bloom up and put it on the Gift table. "Aspenthomas" chose it as hers--and the bloom opened up 3 days later.
I also gave one to "Chantelle"--a good-sized, pronged, leafed out, rooted cutting--and to my, and her amazement--it put out a bloom in no time flat! She posted a picture of it. Now I have one of the Rose Souvelons cuttings with one, beautiful bloom on it. There is another rooted cutting with 2 buds forming.....
What gives?????? I have NEVER had a small cutting bloom! Maybe it is because I did keep them under the lights?????

What do you all have to say?????

Here's the Rose Souvelons, which I still have plenty of rooted cuttings of, and will take them to Holly's Plant Swap in PA in mid-May. I think the R.S. Brug is unique as the blooms have a really short calyx and they do not hang down--but sit at a 45-90 degree angle.
