Pictured above is the most familiar hexagonal tessellation. I’ve found some additional tessellations which use equilateral (but non-equiangular) hexagons, and have radial symmetry. They appear, using various coloring-schemes, below.

These were all derived in various ways from the polyhedra seen in the last two posts. The rest are smaller at first, but each can be enlarged with a single click of your mouse. Each of them has icosidodecahedral symmetry.

I used Stella 4d to make these images, and you can find that program at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

Those last two were duals of each other. The next two are as well.

These next two are duals, as are the pair that follows them.

I’ll finish with one more dual pair.
