I think CAC on black/orange and green/yellow.  Pelt Rainbo on the right.  

Don't have a guess on the swirly pastel one that's on the left in most of the pictures.

Nifty!

Vitro Opal?

Love the hat!

Spring is finally here and we're rounding the corner to summer.  It's very nice outside.  On Sunday I fixed a couple of dishes with dandelions. 

A dandelion and mushroom omelet and a side of dandelion fritters.  There's actually a marble connection there  because the dandelion fritter recipe came from Ron Buol's wife, the mosaic artist Frances Green.  She's apparently an adventurous cook also!  The fritters were quite tasty.

Her recipe on Facebook

I had a bag of roasted salted almonds, so I crushed them up as well as I could for the "ground nuts" part of the recipe.


 

My mother gave me a cactus once.  I was living in Oklahoma.  She brought it up from South Texas.  I felt so guilty for not loving it.   I didn't love any plants at the time, but I wasn't bringing them home with me.  I had no idea what to do with a cactus in my dorm room.   

Your flowers are  beautiful.  

That pink tote in the next yard back .... there's a fair-sized boy in it.   

Replaced the smallest container in that photo with a still-small-but-a-little-larger one, which now contains seeds for skinny onions.  Planted cucumbers in the big one.  Carrots and radishes in the other two.  

Starting to think about the idea of getting pregrown flowers, but it's still a new idea for me.  Right now I'm trying to figure out where to put more dwarf sunflower seeds, since the packet we bought online contained a thousand and so far I've only planted less than ten. 

Looking at the texture of the base makes me wonder what you see if you backlight it.  If it has fire inside then I'd call that an Ace.   Then I'd think about what extra adjectives that little line of red might give it.   But if no fire, then that line of thought is moot. 

They used to be thought to be Christensen.  Then they were thought to be Champion.  Further study pointed to Alley.   

Sometimes marbles change places.  Like Helmets went from being Akro to being Vitro and those pretty blue patches went from being Alley to being Akro.

Here we are, the gardens of 2022! First pic, all tomatoes....second pic, little squash mound.....third pic, the watermelon mound....fourth pic, tons of peppers both sweet and hot....fifth pic, taking a stab at brussel sprouts....sixth pic, pumpkin mound....this is the before. We'll visit in a few weeks and see how things are coming along 😊

 

 

I was checking my computer on a break, saw your post and  had to run out to get this picture before the shadows got too long.    

I had quite firmly told myself I was not going to have a garden this year, but I had 20 minutes to kill on Monday and spent them in a garden center and got home with 8 tomato plants.  

Planted those in two different plots.  Added green beans, peas, cilantro, dill, marigolds, dwarf sunflowers and butterfly friendly flower mix in various spots around the yard. Now I'm I'm thinking about what to put in the containers.

Peltier here. Not all flip flop, the Toucan for example.

I just don't know.   Leaning Master for the structure, but with it being a larger than average marble ... nothing would surprise me. 

At almost .7 different seam rules could apply ..... 

Have you put it under UV?

Oh my.  


What Art said.    Gotta go with Master though those colors are driving me bats.

schweet!

Why don't I just blow everything up by suggesting LATE Vitro or Jabo.  

You sound like you're in great hands.  

Last I heard, corals were Alleys.

The ribbons are different in length and width Leigh’s are high towards the pole and fatter. Steph’s pics show thinner ribbons that are lower towards the equator. So is this a trait of Kokomo? 

I think both Pelt and Kokomo can be pretty irregular in ribbon length and width.  And  I'm not saying Leigh's is a Kokomo.

I'm just saying that there's reason to go slow and consider.  Maybe it will turn out to be a Peltier.  If it is though, it's an unusual one.

Has the same top ribbon pattern where White meets White that clear based single color Pelts have here’s a pic from the Peltier site. 

Same pattern?  Not sure where  you're going with the collage.  

Here's are some pix that Scott LeGrande took to illustrate the flip-flop that's typical of Pelt Rainbos with two ribbon colors:

    




Compare that to Leigh's marble:



 

Now I want to delete my answer.  The more I look at it, the more I can't figure what's the ribbon and what's the base.

I think Rainbo.

And maybe called  Pine Needle?  

(I hate being the one to suggest Kokomo, because too many marbles get ID-ed as Kokomo, but the ribbon order is worth  discussing.)
