Not a Flower :)

A diamond with a hole in it. Turns out if you punch a ring out of a diamond, you get something that's definitely not a flower (╥﹏╥)

Solution

a=abs(x)+abs(y) return z*z<2 and a~=3 and a+6

How it works

The whole thing lives in a 3-layer slab (z*z<2 keeps only z = -1, 0, 1). Inside that slab, we’re looking at abs(x)+abs(y), the Manhattan distance from the Y axis. That distance plus 6 becomes the color directly, giving us concentric diamond rings that shift through the palette as they expand outward.

The fun part is the hole! When abs(x)+abs(y) is exactly 3, we get a~=3 returning false, which kills the whole and chain and leaves those voxels empty. That missing ring is what turns a solid diamond into a “not a flower” (︶︹︶)

Storing abs(x)+abs(y) in a saves us from computing it twice, shaving 4 tokens off the no-temp version.
