Solving Bouquet Tessellation

 Another interesting origami tessellation by gatheringfolds. Utilizes an unusual shape. Looks like a house. But in origami/geometric terms it's an open back hexagon with the bottom sliced off. Or you could say it's a rectangle with an isosceles triangle on the top. Whichever way you wish to classify it, it ultimately means new possibilities for origami designs. 

The center pattern didn't give me any trouble figuring it out. However, I did get blocked for a bit on how the small hex twists connected to the rest of the pattern. My stubbornness prevailed though. And after more time fiddling than I care to admit, I did come up with the solution. I really should have figured it out sooner than I did, but we all have off days.

The back side of the tessellation is exclusively small triangle twists. When I was stuck on how to connect the small hexes, I used the triangles on the back to help me figure it out. 

I especially like how the pattern makes the hexagons look like they only have three wings, even though it secretly has its normal six. 

I would say this is an intermediate level tessellation. Probably upper intermediate though. Some of the folds are overlapping, which always complicates things. 

It's always so satisfying to solve a tessellation, but if you'd rather just fold it the diagram of my solution is below.
