HYB: timing of rebloom

I was hunting in the archives, trying to figure out what the potted seedling labeled "21" might likely be. It's trying to make a bloomstalk, so I will probably be able to figure it out once it blooms. It's either IC1 X "Pretty Baby" or TWILIGHT FANCIES X IC1.
I notice that the IMM X VIOL CLASSIC seedling produced maiden bloom (photo taken) December 3. This year, it's a little farther along November 22.
Would you consider that to be blooming at about the same time of year, daylength dependent? Or is there a chance that if we hadn't had both high temperatures and drought both last fall and this fall that it might be able to bloom earlier?
Also found a stalk forming on the chunk of HARVEST OF MEMORIES X LAURA JEAN that you asked about, Loic. Last year, bloomed Jan 26. Looks like it will also be a little earlier this year, tho not much!
Glad I didn't get around to replanting these two last year! In the kitchen to wait for room on the sunporch to finish bloom.
