@lucymo  Thank you,  This is a small fraction of the Irises, and am so disappointed that they all did not bloom, can't figure out why because they are of very good size and not crowded.  There are so many that I have had for twenty years or so that havn't bloomed in so long, so wanted to see them in bloom so I would know where to plant them.  I will now have to divide them yet again and maybe stick them in the ground in a temporary spot, but this is just extra work that I had wanted to avoid.  I will see how much energy for this I have in the Fall, lol.

Check the tubers for borers and cut off any obvious signs of them and any rotting parts or softened parts of the tubers and plant high with them almost at the top of the soil.

@JustJazzmom  I have been growing Irises for decades, so do know how, and I have never seen a borer, they are all clean, no rot.  I just checked my list, and it seems that most of my Irises are mid to late bloomers, so what I am seeing now, which are at the end, are the early bloomers.
