We bought 2 blueberries, gold traube & early blue. I have a feeling I might
need another one as one is early & one is late. What do you think?

It depends on how many blueberries you want to eat. ;D

I've only got one bush, as they were £9.99. Dunno if it's early or late though.
It has just started flowering.

I had two, but they grew massive so dug them out and gave away... :'(

You should be OK in my opinion. If you have only one variety you will still get blueberries - it's just that they will be smaller because they have haven't cross pollinated with another variety. They are not like Apples where you only get a brief spell of flowers and if they haven't pollinated with another you have missed the boat, blueberries flower over a much longer period and there is bound to be cross over with the blooms of your other variety.
