I think the Bouquet Agate is from Bishop Ranch. The Texas Red Plumes are from Woodward Ranch, Walker Ranch, or possibly Anderson Ranch. The first picture has a Red Plume and Bouquet Agate that I made for the plume cab contest. I ended up entering the red cab because I liked it’s vibrant red color, even though the Bouquet Agate is a more valuable material.

Anderson Ranch (possibly Birdhills area)

Hart Ranch in Van Horn, TX

Here is the Bouquet Agate preshape.

The red and green ones I especially like. They remind me of a Flanders poppy field with trees in the background.

They are all beautiful! Thanks for sharing them.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Beautiful red and green and also fields of mustard yellow.
