Summary
[edit]A form of the "Flower of Life" hexagonal pattern (where the center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter) made up of 61 complete circles (making clear the way in which the pattern is constructed). Since only complete circles are used, the full pattern is only visible towards the center of the diagram.
To see the most common form of the flower of life pattern (using partial circular arcs, so that the full pattern appears throughout), view Image:Flower-of-Life-19circles36arcs-enclosed.png . For a large "carpet" of the flower of life pattern, go to Image:Flower-of-Life-91circles36arcs.png .
