7 month old Avonia quinaria seedlings are flowering?

My 7 month old Avonia quinaria seedlings (grown from seed) seem to be flowering from their first stems?
I'm ecstatic but it seems a bit too early for them to be flowering...

Perhaps it is just the lighting/heat conditions that favor flowering? Indeed those are flower buds congrats

darn it I hate when I find a new plant on here that I now want to grow.

That could be it, I had no idea my growing conditions were ideal though haha. Thanks! This one is definitely a plant worth growing

I'm located in Montreal, Canada. Cold, dry winters and hot, humid summers. Maybe they like the contrast in heat and humidity?

The first flower (bottom right) is about to open!

And it's open!
I pollinated it, fingers crossed that it sets seed.
