Blooming seedlings

I have a question for some of you who live in a more northern climate 
who also hybridize hosta.  Last year I grew a bunch of hostas from 
seeds, selecting for certain interesting traits, but also selecting 
only the most vigorous.  They were kept in a greenhouse all summer, 
although the light was somewhat diffused and less then full sunlight, 
but still more sunlight then they would have gotten in a shaded 
location.  Anyway, I've noticed that some of them are now starting to 
send up flower scapes on the second year plants - which is what I 
want.  My question, for those who grow their seedlings outdoors, do 
you normally have to wait until the third year to get scapes, or do 
you get some to bloom the second year.
