Cindi, most likely they will bloom again. My A. obesum are right now budding up and about to start their second flush of blooms this year. There is plenty of active growing season left for yours to bloom again.

FWIW, I try to never let my Adeniums go dry. The soil drains well, but I try to keep it always moist, even during winter. As long as they are growing and have healthy green leaves, I keep them watered. And the flip side to this is, by always keeping them watered they always have healthy green leaves (and are growing). Mine never go dormant, although of course they do grow more slowly in cool weather than in hot.

I have to protect them from our frosts and from really cold weather (under 40°F) during winter, but I will also get blooms during winter. Not as heavy as spring and summer, but hey, I'm not turning any blooms down!
