I'm still having fun with the yellow Cairo tiles from my previous post. This time, I mixed them with the white hexagonal tiles from an earlier model to create a flowery pattern. The key observation is that six Cairo tiles can form a ring with a regular hexagon at the center. If we fill that central hole with a white hexagonal tile, the ring looks like a yellow-and-white hexagonal flower. If we leave the hole open, it becomes a large hollow hexagon. Once the pieces are grouped into these larger hexagons, they can tile the plane.
