It may have depended on what fertilizer was used. If that person had told you to use a high phosphorus fertilzer then you might just have a mystery.

If a higher nitrogen fertilzer was used it may have forced foliage growth and/or abortion of stalk initiation as can happen with Spring bloom.

This year, I followed the advice of a reblooming hybridizer whom I respect and
re-fed the rebloomers listed in the paragraph above immediately after
blooming. They didn't rebloom. Those not re-fed did. Ah, sweet mystery . .
