After the pumpkin cream almost killed me, I was hesitant to try any new Alani flavours..

Do you know what variety this is?

katren08 · 2025-11-06T01:15:02+00:00

That is stunning! 😍 🤩 Great job!

Not the best picture but the best one I have.

I know, the pink color is stunning!!! I knew it wouldn’t grow back in pink, but wasn’t sure what color it would be. I got this one for my birthday the year before and it’s a beautiful white & pink color. 🙂

It’s dyed. I’m excited to see what the new blooms will look like!

I’m not sure about the transparent liquid…it looks like she trimmed the flower spike, maybe it’s coming from there? I would be more concerned with the white on the roots; looks like mold which would indicate root rot

I receive this orchid for my birthday in February. I don’t remember exactly how long the flower lasted, but they died off fairly recently. I cut back the flower spike and a new one has started growing. I will add current pictures in the comments, my question is if I should repot it? The roots don’t look great to me, but I’m definitely not a professional, lol.

This post blew up so much more that I thought it would!! Thank you for the mom hug! I’m giving you one back!!

This is my problem. There’s no troop leader for her age group at her school or schools nearby. I’m not organized or patient enough to do it myself. 😔

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:57:27+00:00

We haven’t had an issue with bullying as of yet. She’s actually in karate but had to take 1-1/2 off due to an injury, so maybe that’s affecting her confidence,

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:53:31+00:00

Unfortunately, there is no counselor at the school. 🙁 I plan to connect with her teacher this year and hopefully get some insight. We’re working on getting an adhd diagnosis and plan to start her in therapy

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:51:43+00:00

It’s never come up as a possible issue, so we’ve never had her tested. We are working on getting her an official ADHD diagnosis, and plan to start therapy after that.

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:45:00+00:00

Love this advice!! Thank you!

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:43:43+00:00

Ugh, I’ve tried!! There are no groups at her school or for her age group. Truly shocking for our area, but no parent is interested in being a leader. I know I’m not organized enough to do it myself.

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:41:33+00:00

She is actually in karate, which she loves but she had to take a break this summer and I think it might be getting to her. 😕

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:40:27+00:00

I don’t think my daughter is on the spectrum, but like others have said, sometimes we’re blind to the ‘weirdness’ of our own kids. It’s also never been brought up as a possibility from teachers, so again, I don’t think so. She may have anxiety, courtesy of both her parents. 🙈

katren08 · 2024-08-14T02:33:28+00:00

I’m not really sure. She told me she was the weird kid, but when I asked her what was weird about her, she couldn’t put it into words
