I love the graffiti on the bamboo stems.
I actually have a collection of graffiti on bamboo – these were particularly fascinating because of the Chine characters.
That’s fascinating. You should blog that.
I thought about bamboo for this challenge. Any bamboo I have pales next to your photos. 😀

When I was a little kid on Vancouver Island we used to go out to a place which had a huge stand of bamboo – I loved running in and pretending I was in a jungle somewhere with a tiger just around the corner…
Fabulous collection of bamboo from all over the world. Great job!
I always thought it was semi-tropical and was surprised at the number of colder places where it flourished…
Lovely to look at but don’t think I’d want it in my garden, far too invasive. However I would happily have painting after painting of it!
It is way too invasive, especially if you live in the a city where the properties are all close together and it undermines foundations. I saw once that if you wanted to stop it from invading you had to dig up the bamboo shoots several times a year and then eat them for dinner. But it’s something I didn’t try after I saw other people’s problems with that beautiful plant.
Definitely one to admire in other people’s gardens!
I am travelling through your image selection;-)
