My hydrangea's flowers are green, what can I do?

The flowers on my hydrandea are coming in green instead of blue or pink. I would like them to be blue when they come in. What do I need to use to get these results and why are my flowers green?
I use a soil acdifier on it, it is also they type that will produce blue or pink flowers.

Just be patient. Hydrangea flowers first set out green and will change color as they mature. Your doing just fine! Blue flowers are usually the results of genetics and acid soil. If your soil is already acidic, you will need to do nothing. If your soil is neutral to alkiline, you can try to acidify the soil with sulfur, peat moss, and pine needle or oak leaf mulch. There are fertilizers like Holly-Tone & Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed® Continuous Release Azalea, Camellia, Rhododendron Plant Food that help to acidify a soil as well.
