Re: Anisacanthus - Do you know this plant?

Hi everyone:

I have this plant - well, actually, I have these plants.....a yellow, orange 
and red blooming plant known to me as Anisacanthus.  Until I found the red 
blooming Anisacanthus (with a label in the pot) this summer I didn't know 
what my yellow and orange plant were.  I was told that they were a native 
honeysuckle but it is not a vine - just a small bush.  Anyway - I can't get 
these plants to bloom.  According to the information I have found on these 
plants I am doing everything right - full sun, water, fertilizer, etc., but 
they still won't bloom for me.  It is my understanding that these plants are 
supposed to bloom from spring to fall - mine haven't done a thing but grow.  
I will admit that until June 1st I was pinching the heck out of these guys to 
encourage bushiness which has made for a nice looking plant....but they just 
won't bloom.  Does anyone here grow this plant and if so - how do you treat 
yours and is yours blooming?  Last year my yellow and orange were in bloom 
all season.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
