A cutting grown plant or grafted plant will often take half the time. For instance, Avocados grown from seed can take I think up to 10 years to begin flowering, but a tree grown from a cutting can flower in just a few years. I'm reading that Delonix regia takes about 5 years to flower. Here's hoping yours does soon! There's some great info and a very nice mature specimen pictured here: http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/GardenPubsAZ/FactSheet/DelonixRegiaRoyalPoinciana.pdf While we can't grow Delonix regia where I live (too cold in winter and too cool year round), we can grow Red Flowering Gums, which get covered entirely in red flowers. In off years, part of the tree will flower but it's usually spectacular. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1082/1411130205_890caa303d.jpg Well, seedling trees often take a while to flower.

I insisted on having one when my garden was planned and I planted it right in front of my study's window. It was a tiny thing when it was planted, now it's about 3 or 4 meters high. There is no sign of it flowering though and I am worried that they gave me a duff tree! I know that it matures between 5 to 10 years of age, but the hope is still there that it will flower this year.

They chose a fantastic tree, Delonix regia, the Royal Poinciana. That's a very Neo-classical European styled house as well. Nice! They chose a fantastic tree, Delonix regia, the Royal Poinciana.
