Story about a girl who has the power to manipulate plants

[sandie]

I read this chapter book series in elementary school (around 2008) about a girl who had the power to influence plants with her emotions (for example, sometimes when she becomes angry she accidentally makes a plant grow a certain way). Each person in that world gets a power when they reach a certain age, as well as an orb. Her orb broke, however, so she has to travel to different realms to recover the pieces of her orb. She has a close male friend at home as well.

Later in the series, she discovers that she has a second power of reading the color of people's auras, which is relatively rare.

I think the title had something with "Azure" in it, though I could be wrong. I remember the cover being a photograph of the girl, with a pastel background.

That's the Zenda series, in which Zenda, the titular protagonist, makes her home on the planet Azureblue! And then, after accidentally breaking her orb, has to go on a quest to find all the shards, just as you remember. What you may not remember, however, is that the series wasn't ever finished, so I guess reread at your own risk?
