Heavy Hydrangea

What's up with this guy?  If anyone can help....please.  This is my endless summer hydrangea.  It's 3 years old.  And, you know what they say,
"The 1st year they sleep, the 2nd year the creep and the 3rd year they leap."
Well, it's 3 years old it sure leapt - there is no doubt about that!  But why only the 1 HUGE bloom?
Late frost? Too much watering?  Not enough fertilizer?  Last hear there was only 1 bloom on a very small plant and they were pinker - less of the white  and deeper pink.  Is this just the life cycle of this shrub?

    I just found your blog (which is lovely) and am a bit late on this answer, but did you prune in the spring? I believe this hydrangea blooms from old and new wood, but if you pruned old wood you may have gotten rid of most of your blooms- ask me how I know! I did this hydrangeas and an exquisite wisteria before I learned my lesson. I hope it's done better this year (2012).
