Potato flowers dropping off... do I care?

I'm growing Yukon Gold, Kennebec and Pontiac Red. They all have flower buds now but they are all dropping off. None have opened into a flower. Should I care? Is this symptomatic of some problem that will effect the tubers? Or is it normal?

Weather has been on the cool side but warming up lately. Nothing severe. The soil is dry on top, moist underneath, but not wet at all. I have used a complete organic fertilizer including bone meal for phosphorous. The plants look very healthy. They grew very fast but have stopped growing lately as the flower buds formed.

Should I be concerned?
