Tiling Pentagon #15

You probably know that, until this past summer, there were only 14 known pentagons that could tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. In August, three mathemeticians at the University of Washington found a 15th. I made a bunch of the new pentagons in Photoshop Elements, slid them around until they fit together, and colored them (attractively?) for today's image.
