Half-adjacent rhombi in red on a white background, viewed from the front. Imagine a rhombic tiling of the plane with 6-fold rotational symmetry. Then slide the tiles past each other until a hexagon hole opens at the center of 6-fold symmetry and triangular holes open at the 3-fold symmetric points. Keep sliding the tiles until each edge is only touching half of the edge of the next tile over.
