text box sizes

Hello,
I am trying to make a figure with the attached code. The resulting figure is attached. I would like to make the pink boxes the same size as the blue boxes. I have read the documentation for axes.text and the bbox dict, but I cannot figure out how to specify the size of the box. When I try passing bbox=dict(width=30), I got an error saying the keyword argument width was specified twice. I assume this is because the text command specifies the width automatically. What is the prefered way to do this? The only solution I can think of so far is to draw the rectangle patches, and then add the text after without a bbox, but this seems cumbersome.
Thank you,
Glenn
