Hmmm...maybe this is the elusive puce color Clarence was
mentioning last spring, or this could be useful for breeding for puce or
even a pus colored iris! A "puky" color is not definitive enough - too
many colors here; maybe, MATRIX is a yucky color, but it had form and
substance in my garden, probably because it had so much time to mature.
