Why has My Camellia japonica not Flowered this Spring

United Kingdom

TWO YEARS AGO I PLANTED TWO CAMELLIA SHRUBS.
ONE IN MY BACK GARDEN AND ONE IN MY FRONT GARDEN AND LAST YEAR THEY BOTH FLOWERED
BEAUTIFULLY.
HOWEVER THIS SPRING THE ONE IN MY FRONT
GARDEN HAS FAILED TO FLOWER AND IS LOOKING SOMEWHAT UNHAPPY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. IT HAS A DEEP RED FLOWER.

I suspect it may too sunny and a lack of nutrients. Give it a good feed now and make sure you give it sequestrine an iron tonic. mulch well too and hopefully it will recover for next year. dont allow it to dry out either.

welcome to GoY too.
