 We can use the [`colour`
 library](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/colour) to generate
 successively lighter shades of blue:
 
-> colors = iterate (C.blend 0.1 white) blue
+> colors = iterate (blend 0.1 white) blue
 
 An order-0 pentaflake is just a pentagon:
 
-> p = regPoly 5 1 # lw 0
-> 
-> pentaflake 0 = p
+> pentaflake' 0 = pentagon 1 # lw 0
 
-An [order-n pentaflake](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Pentaflake.html) is an order-(n-1) pentaflake surrounded by five
-more.  The `appends` function is useful here for positioning the five
-pentaflakes around the central one.

 blowup in the number of primitives, so generating higher-order
 pentaflakes can take a long time!
