Interesting how each is linked at the corners? Very cool patterns & shapes...

Indeed. Still trying to get a better 'representation' of them. Find them quite challenging.

By the way I really should be calling them Biddulphia biddulphiana rather than Biddulphia pulchella, since it is now considered an unaccepted synonym.

Will try and remember for the next one.
