Royal Poinciana

The information posted on the Royal Poinciana is great. I am struggling with my Royal Poincianas. I have two, supposedly a red one and a yellow one. I planted them 5 years ago. They are about 12 feet tall and 15 across the crowns. They are growing in the conditions you detailed in the post. My problem is I have never seen one flower from either one. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
