Hydrangea Isn't Flowering

My hydrangea is about 15 years old. It gets huge in the summer and gets about 8 hours of sun. It had gorgeous blue blooms for the first few years. I watch and wait every season, but am sad to say there are no flowers. Please help. Thanks.

Hardiness Zone: 6b

If you fertilize it too much it will also stop blooming. I learned that the hard way : )

There are three possibilities for lack of flowering among the hydrangea species. The first two: "too much shade and improper pruning" apply to all hydrangeas, while the other "weather-related damage to flower buds" applies primarily to the big leaf hydrangea.
