Pat, I'll predict that you won't lose any of them.  In my garden I very 
rarely lose any iris to bloomout (lots of other causes, yes, but not 
bloomout).  Even if every fan in a clump blooms in the same season, the 
clump will almost certainly grow new tiny increases later in the season 
if you're patient.  Just don't dig and toss the plants before you give 
them a chance to increase.

Iris gardening is usually a waiting game.
