You may use any term you wish to describe them, but for the purpose of
communication can we please use "broken color" (BC)?

I think it would be fair to ask AIS to make a policy decision on this, as
there is obviously scope for confusion amongst lay-people (i.e.
non-listers!). Clarence - are you there?

Dear Graham,
Variegation is a descriptive word which can be applied "correctly" to
anything which shows variegated colors. Broken color is a specific example
of color variegation in iris flowers. Its cause is probably genetic and it
relates to my breeding line which is based on Allan's. Not all iris with
variegated flower colors are broken color.
I concede defeat and will nolonger even discuss this on the net, but it's
unfair to ask the AIS to rule on something which is impossible to define.
