Hydrangeas only leaves and no flowers

Hi, apologize first as I know I will sound very dumb.

Never had a garden before, just bought a house in December with lovely garden and 3 bushes of hydrangeas, I was very looking forward to the flowering. However it’s mid May now and we have been watering them daily but all I can see is leaves and a lot of leaves and no flower buds. What have we done wrong? Is it too late to correct this and what I need to do so at least next year some flowers will come out.

When I did house viewing before we bought the house the flowers were in bloom very pretty.

Not a gardening expert but I think it's still early for them to flower, I have some hydrangeas that have some buds and some that don't but they flower every year, I just think it's still a bit early but I'm sure someone with more knowledge will know for sure...

As long as you havent pruned them recently there should be small green flowers forming like the previous photos - they dont come into full flower until later in the season.

We also inherited a hydrangea with our first garden. It had flowers late into the year when we first moved in, so I’m sure it’s too early right now. Ours is currently leaves only as well!

Mine is only leaves at the moment. It’s doing something though. Give it time.

Its too early for them to flower yet probably be another month maybe more until the big mop headflowers are in full bloom. If its green and growing its healthy and will flower,there is lots of Hydrangea feeds you can buy from amazon etc to nourish them to produce big stable flowers.
