Chuck, I had a misunderstanding of the word "check". I both read and wrote it meaning stop or prevent. Bloomout has been a big problem for me here in hot southern Arizona. I could make quite a list of irises I have lost or am in danger of losing to it. There are a half dozen in my guest garden that are in serious danger. I am nowhere near figuring out the cause or the prevention.

The best way would be to check ratio between flower stalks and green
fans. This ideally should be 50%. That is as many blooming as
nonblooming fans. When more then 75% of fans are bloomstalks then the
plant is at risk of bloomout or of perhaps never increasing.
