Summary[edit]
A large "carpet" 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 91 complete circles and 36 partial circular arcs.
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 . To see a form of the flower of life pattern composed of complete circles only (making clear the way in which the pattern is constructed), view Image:Flower-of-Life-61circles.png .
Generated by means of the following PostScript code (change hexsize to have the value 1 in order to see the rosette on the unofficial flag of Padania):
