Especially Bambusa lako. ABSOLUTELY Gorgeous!

Looking thru my shots I ran into a Yellow Groove stem shot.
Bear in mind this was taken in February.
The color is a bit bleached out.

A tip for the northern gardeners:
If you want a more tropical bamboo look, trim the lower branches off up to about 3 1/2 feet from the ground.
Also thin out the small canes in the middle of the clump.
