Differentiation

The Alismatales begin to show the signs of sexual excitement that is typical of the Commelinids, but their fears and anxieties are more typical of a child before puberty. They are irritable, weary and cross and suffer from colds and Hay fever.

The Alismatales have some similarities with the Silica Series. There is obstinacy with a need for support. Caladium, like Phosphorous seeks connection and has lots of excitement followed by exhaustion and apathy.

Arum-t is loosing connection, an important aspect of Stage 17.
