Would a few good soakings be too much?

I wouldn't have thought so. I may be wrong, but I get the impression
that most of the geraniums which insist on sun and good drainage are
pink or white flowered.

Maybe they were just very young when you got it, and has concentrated of
foliage and getting a good root system. Worry if they don't flower next
year.

The only grey leafed one I have noticed being shy flowering is G. renardii,
I have always found it flowers better in a crack in paving rather than the
beds. but there are varieties which only flower once so you may have missed
it for this year and there is nothing wrong. Did I miss the name? I may not
have all the posts. But the best grey foliage one I grow is G. robustum
which flowers well in May and June then comes back into flower about now so
you may still get something! and as an evergreen has beautiful foliage over
winter.
