Would anyone know if either of these plants flower according to photoperiodism?

I've been speaking with a fellow who grew Nematanthus and the like commercially for a while, and he used to give them a dry spell to initiate flowering. Not too sure how easy this would be to try in a terribilis tank...

My A gracilis flowered at the same time every year in the greenhouse. I'm trying to remember.... I think it was late Spring. So that tells me it's a seasonal thing for that species.
