Looking at the awards, miniatum can bloom in Dec-Jan, but was awarded
mostly in March-May, peaking in April.

Curvifolium also has the most awards for March-May, exactly as miniatum,
but has also been awarded in June-Aug.

Both are based on ca. 20 awards.

The miniatum with the most flowers had 4200 on 111 spikes, the curvifolium
had only a measly 3840 on 160, but had another 480 buds coming...
