Yellow Flag Iris

I have had yellow flag irises for 3 years and they have never flowered. They look healthy and keep multiplying though. My purple irises flower every year. Do you know what could cause this?

The most common reason for irises failing to bloom is overcrowding. Dividing and transplanting them usually helps. In addition, it can be attributed to poor pollination. Try to entice pollinators (bees, butterflies, etc.) to the area with brightly colored flowers.
