Precocious cyclamen?

I had always read that it generally takes several years for hardy cyclamen to come into flowering from seed, but I have a Cyclamen purpurascens that germinated last fall and is initiating a couple of flower buds now. The plant grew under fluorescent lights all winter and then was transplanted into an outdoor bed this spring, but I can't think of anything unusual that was done to promote early bloom. Some Cyclamen hederifolium and Cyclamen cilicium tubers that were purchased last fall and grown on under lights (then transplanted to the same outdoor bed area) have also been flowering more or less continuously for months now. Could there be any link? I'm puzzled... but pleased, of course.
