Why Is The Stems Where The White Flowers Were Now Brown Sticks?

I bought 2 different elderberry bushes this year and planted with black kow manure compost. That is what the co-op said to do. I have a trickle water irrigation to them. I water 20 min a day. One plant had flowers and the second plant never got flowers. I went away for a visit 3 days. When I came back, all white flowers gone and the stems of the flowers were brown. I am new to growing these. Help please.
