Size of Clethra alnifolia blooms?

Does anyone here have any experiences with Clethra alnifolia?  The one
that I have seems to be of the 'Rosea' variety (tinged with pink, 
especially when opening).

I'm concerned about the bloom size on my plant.  This is the first year
that I've ever seen it actually bloom (I've always been out of town before),
but the panicles are only about 1" long.  The dried capsules from last
year that are still there look to be about 4" long, so I'm wondering
what's going on. 

It's been getting regular watering, but _is_ in a shady spot (receiving 
maybe 2 hours of early morning sun).  It's been in this same location for
about 3.5 years now, so I'm not convinced that sun has anything to do
with it (and besides, Clethra is supposed to like shade!)

The foliage looks very clean and healthy, and a few suckers have
come up around the base.  Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
