Uniform coloring
This regular tiling can also be constructed from [(5,5,3)] symmetry alternating two colors of pentagons, represented by t1(5,5,3).
Symmetry
This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 6 mirrors defining a regular hexagon fundamental domain, and 5 mirrors meeting at a point. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *33333 with 5 order-3 mirror intersections.
