blueberry flowers no fruit (forum)

Patricia Dunn starts with ...
Just wondering why this time, after a very successful earlier fruiting, the flowers on my (unfortunately forgotten what type) blueberry are falling off without fruit forming. Is that normal at the start of the fruiting season?

It could be normal, the petals can fall off before the fruit is very visible.

If it's not, causes of blossom drop I know of are similar to other plants; potassium deficiency, phosphorus deficiency, nitrogen overdose, dehydration stress, heat stress, wind stress, pH stress (bluberries want acidic soil), and missing pollination.

Any ideas? How does the weather this season compare to last season? What have you fed it?
