Simply beautiful my friend!πβΊοΈ
I'm grateful that you appreciate it! There are more! π π π β¨ π€
Thanks a lot, amigo! Beauty abounds here, of which I have thousands of photos! π π π β¨ π€
That's one of the largest bamboos in the world, that can reach 120 feet tall, with culms a foot in diameter. Let's see what else I've got for you! π π π β¨ π€
Very impressive, bamboo my friend!π€
I have a yard full of the smaller variety of bamboo, it sends out runners everywhere !
You have to be careful it will overtake everything !π
Indeed it is, especially up close! Cool! At one point in my life I was planning on becoming a botanist specializing in the woody bamboos, and I grew hundreds of species and varieties for a while. It's most likely some species of Phyllostachys, Semiarundinaria, Pleioblastus, Sasaella, or Sasa. If you send some photos (of the culms, branches, and culms sheathes), I could likely identify it. Indeed, the temperate runners can form vast forests, groves, and thickets! I know them well! π π π β¨ π€
That sounds like a wonderful career. Iβll try to get a photo up close!ππ
