Ocotillo flowering ... but ? leaves ...

I finally got an ocotillo to grow & flower here in Albuquerque after seeing the ones the City planted on the dividers do well the past warmer years. The City ones are in flower but they also are all leafed out; why is mine flowering but no leaves? It does get limited water like the other plants in the section of yard of desert plants I have.... do I need to water it more? In the desert they just leaf out & flower after a rain so I was letting Nature take over!

Can I snip a piece of a branch off & plant it & will it also take root & grow? I had heard in Mexico they make living fences that way x cuttings.
