I know azaleas and rhodies do tend to get blind buds if they don't get
enough water in June/July. They need a lot around then. Preferably
rainwater, regardless of what they say about alkalinity.

May be too late for this year, but try keeping it well watered in
summer and by next spring should have flowers that open.

I take it the leaves aren't showing signs of chlorosis?
