Our "late" summer hydrangeas are coming in now, and the early summer ones are still in bloom. The number of blooms and color is incredible this year. I guess nature put it all together just right this Spring!

After I made a Hydrangea Cube, Hydrangea Icosahedron was the next logical step. Just as in the cube, the Hydrangea Tessellation by Shuzo Fujimoto is used as a modular unit. The method of modifying and connecting individual elements was first published by Meenakshi Mukerji but at a later time I came up with the same design independently.
The modified tessellation unit has properties very similar to the Sonobe unit so other, larger assemblies that can be made with Sonobe units can be made with Hydrangeas as well.
This is the head-on view, with pentagonal symmetry of the spiked icosahedron visible.

The hydrangea tree has started to bloom. When more flowers open, this will be fantastic.

Blue hydrangeas take on a whole new palette as they begin to fade away for the cold seasons. It is easy to overlook them, but the keen observer is rewarded with a subtle beauty - less flamboyant than the summer blooms, but worthy in the end.
