Camellia not flowering?

Hi all,
I have a camellia R.L Wheeler in a pot against a north facing wall. Does it look like it will flower this year? It is in ericaceous compost but was only planted about 9 months ago so I have not fed it. It did lose some leaves this summer which turned brown and fell off (put it down to the very hot summer) but otherwise looks healthy. I have seen some for sale in garden centres that are just about to flower and mine doesn't look like that so a little worried that I have done something wrong! The pot is about 60cm diameter.

I doubt if you'll get flowers this year but you should next year if you feed it a generous dollop of slow release rose or tomato feed around Easter and ensure it gets regular watering with rain water throughout the growing season.
