Didn't Dennis Kramb (I think) post a photo of BATIK (I think) where 1/2 the
fall in the photo was a normal plicata pattern and the other 1/2 was the
broken color pattern we are accustomed to seeing?  Remembering that photo
made me wonder if broken color was the plicata gene gone haywire or
something else.  Anyone know if FANTASTIC (Plough '77) is a broken color?
It derives from plicatas with STEPPING OUT on both the maternal and paternal
sides.
