A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a pattern of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of parts of the plane or of other surfaces. Generalizations to higher dimensions are also possible. Tessellations frequently appeared in the art of M. C. Escher. Tessellations are seen throughout art history, from ancient architecture to modern art.

Tessellations in the Garden
I think that this would be called an irregular, three dimensional, Euclidean space, tessellated natural structure, otherwise known as Sedum! And it is from my garden!
This is a salt water tessellation.
And this is a complex tessellation from nature., a tessellation on the water caused by the refraction of the light from the sun.
