That's not so boring.
I don't think so, unfortunately, if you're just rotating that portion of the Cl(flowsnake)\Int(Cl(flowsnake)) -- according to my calculations, the complex number solution has a modulus slightly different from 1 (so you'll need to rotate and enlarge). Can you zoom further into the centre of the design to check whether the correspondence is exact? Nevertheless, I can confirm that the second frame does work (but the angle is not 7pi/33).

(Easy for YOU to say.) gosper.org/flakes.png First frame is swing angle π/3, confirming DanA's guess about trisected areas. 2nd frame is implausible swing angle 7π/33, or VERY nearly, showing subflake at a peculiar angle. 3rd frame is even weirder angle that seems to make a triskelion out of ten tiny flakes. Doubt this one.
Especially since they number thirteen.
