Dogwood Behavior

Okay, why has my new white Dogwood (cornus florida) that I planted last
spring put out its leaves and never bloom? It is about 6 feet high, I bought
it at Broadwells and it has beautiful leafing. But no blooms at all. It
isn't a Kousa dogwood (which I don't like) so it shouldn't bloom after
leafing out. Any thoughts? I thought they didn't need fertilizer.
My experience with plants has followed the sleep/creep/leap path. The first
year they sleep (do nothing). The second year, they creep (grow a little).
The third year, they take off. However, I've had a few dogwoods that took
longer than that to bloom for the first time.
