This kusudama is created from the idea to make a sonobe-like unit with petals, but... without right angles or pi/4 angles. It's possible! I can't say, that it's better, than regular sonobe-like unit, but for me it was very interesting. As for me I think it requires a bit too mush paper :( but the plus is that you can play with it football and nothing breaks... The holes in the spikes are constructive feature, but the holes between spikes are unfortunately bugs ;-)
I'll put the version from a square as soon as I make the proper photo...
30 units copy paper
a4 size rectangles
tutorials can be found in book "david brill brilliant origami"
the units allow a lot of different things to be built. I know you can build a ball with x24 or x60 units. and once they are put together, they don't come apart easily.
I found these a few days back. And really just wanted to find one nice enough to give my wife. Plus this one being made from 1:2 scale rectangles. I was able to use the left over paper I had from making squares. It is nice to feel like I am wasting paper to.
There is a big debate online on when to curl the petals. Normally I swear against curling paper. So I had to try every way I saw. I decided to completely assemble the ball and then take each flap out individually to curl it. It meant assembling the ball twice. And maybe a third time to glue it together. unfortunately I didn't stop enough to get pictures because I was to focused over that
The page I found this unit has several different units made from several different shapes of paper. And there are lots of videos on YouTube

After folding this I put it inside one of those clear spherical shell ornaments to make it into a christmas tree ornament.
Here is yet another octahedron made from Sonobe Units. I changed a couple folds making the Sonobes to get the white "highlights".

Однако блиноптица!
Assembly of 12 "Little Turtle" units. (Fuse) I guess this might be a Truncated Stellated Octahedron??
Sonobe-like ball. Made from 30 pieces of 7.5 x 5 inch Ruspepa two-tone paper. Completed size is about 8”. Thinner paper fell apart. The thicker paper holds together well at all stages of construction without glue. Designed and folded by Berry Lyndall Wemm
the twelve units ready to be assembled into the bowl kusudama. looking at the one in the lower left corner it may have been backwards. but checking it it looks OK on the ball.
no glue, but I am glad I keep a few clothes pins on my table.
12 pieces square
