When you consider the 30-unit Stella Conica a dodecahedron from 12 5-petal flowers it is a small step to the truncated icosahedron AKA Buckyball made out of 12 5-petal flowers and 20 6-petal flowers all from Miyuki Kawamura's Stella Conica modules. Basically the same but now you create the 6-unit flowers in between the 5-petal flowers. Great when it's raining all day and you are watching a movie... I can make those modules blindfolded while taking a shower by now!!
