Did you use an ericaceous potting medium/soil and rainwater only for watering? Camellias cannot tolerate lime.

We beed a little more info kanedawn.
If it's a young/small plant, it may take a while to settle and flower. They also have to be kept consistently moist in late summer for the flower buds to develop properly. If they dry out during that time, they won't have healthy buds for spring.
They thrive in heavy clay, so it's not just your soil that could be the issue.
