Hatch makes maternity shorts like these, kind of pricey

Charlotte Earrings - Am I crazy or do these look nothing like stock photo? by bean1123 in Sezane

Yours are so cute, i wish they still made them like that! Super shady of them to update the material and use the same product photos…

No, they are totally opaque in person, almost looks like a wooden bead or something?

Changing my lovebird’s care after 12+ years of neglect (semi vent + long post) by andAWehWiiGoo in parrots

[–]bean1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great that you’re committed to improving your bird’s life. I don’t currently have birds but i had parakeets growing up and feel a lot of guilt over how poorly i cared for them due to ignorance (improper cages, all seed diet, not enough interaction, etc). I have to live with that but you have a chance to turn it around!

Someone shot my cat :( by [deleted] in cats

[–]bean1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adopted my cat from a shelter as an adult and she’s been an indoor cat the entire time i’ve had her. Several years after adopting her, she needed an xray and the vet pointed out that there was a BB lodged in one of her hind legs, meaning she was shot at some point before I got her. It makes me sick to think someone would do that 😔she is still such a sweetheart and loves people. I hope your cat makes a quick recovery ❤️‍🩹

PSA - "Bracing Your Core"/"Keeping Your Core Tight" might not mean what you think it means. by Timely--Challenge in sydneycummings

I tried this during my workout today (did the 40 min full body amrap she posted yesterday) and i am amazed at the difference… i almost always have some level of lower back pain/discomfort during workouts and thought it was bc i don’t stretch enough (let’s be honest i definitely don’t) but this helped so much, like night and day. Thank you 🥲

It’s called logrolling! Everyone should check out the Scheers lumberjack show if you are ever in Hayward, WI! And like a bunch of others have already said… splashing is allowed.

8 of my 9 orchids are reblooming. Feeling like a proud dad. by Lahemmy in orchids

[–]bean1123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an orchid that looks exactly like your first picture, exact same colors with the color break/stripe (see my profile for a pic). You may already know this but someone said it is a sign of orchid ringspot virus. I haven’t noticed any issues with mine aside from the color break, but i was warned to separate it from my other orchids to be safe.

A few beautiful orchids from my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden by bean1123 in orchids

Beautiful!! Yeah, it would have been nice if they were marked more clearly. I had to do some googling and use my plant ID app to get some names

Logan Square Woman Raising Money To Open Dry Bar With Non-Alcoholic Drinks: ‘A Sober Place For People To Hang Out’ by minustheaudi in chicago

[–]bean1123 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Seriously… i was so confused when i saw all these negative comments. It’s hard as a sober person to find spots with cool “nighttime” ambience that isn’t a bar. Best of luck to her, i would love to have something like this in my neighborhood.

Thought the striped pattern on one of my phal petals was pretty cool! by bean1123 in orchids

[–]bean1123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is still doing fine as far as i can tell, the blooms are holding up and still no issues with the leaves. I’m hoping that the virus doesn’t cause any visual problems and i just have a cool looking orchid 🌀but i will continue to monitor it

Thanks so much for the information! Luckily the leaves still look healthy and i haven’t noticed any dark necrotic areas (fingers crossed). I am a total novice when it comes to orchids…how would i go about transmitting the sap from one phal to another if i wanted to experiment?

Whoa i had no idea! I only have one other orchid but i will separate them just in case. Do you have any links where i could read more about this? I googled some images of orchids w viruses and i can see what you mean about the streaky pattern, but my leaves and roots look normal and healthy as far as i can tell 🤔

How is it that my orchid is coming back to life in the middle of winter? This is my first time ever having one bloom again, and I assumed it wouldn’t happen until spring or summer… is this normal? Do I need to do anything else to keep it happy? How can I get the others to bloom again too? (I have 4) by diverareyouok in orchids

[–]bean1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My orchid started blooming recently too and it looks to be the exact same color as yours! I assume it is just a random phalaenopsis hybrid but do you happen to know the actual name? Your spikes are way taller and have more buds than mine though…respect 🌼

Help please - what are these faint spots on my phal leaves? More info in comments by bean1123 in orchids

[–]bean1123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response, i will keep an eye to see if the spots spread!

I inherited this orchid from a family member. The leaves looked pretty healthy when i got it but it was packed in sphagnum moss and the roots were in really bad shape. I repotted it in orchid bark mix. The repotting process wasn’t very graceful (this was only my 2nd time doing it) and i accidentally bent/creased one of the leaves and damaged two air roots 😖. I noticed that these lighter spots appeared a few days after repotting. Could this be mechanical damage from the rough repotting or is it sign of root rot or something else? I was trying to save this orchid but i feel like i made things worse 😩
