My biggest plant . . not counting the live oaks. Drew, that is the 'geek cave' aka the Garage Mahal nicely screened behind the clump. Thank goodness for really big plants. It's on the south side of the building so keeps it nice and cool in there, too.

We built the shop about a year ago, and had to dig out about 1/4 of the bamboo clump to put in the foundation. You should have seen the guy with the backhoe cursing that bamboo. It is lovely, easy care, and makes the best sounds in the wind. All I do to it is rake up the leaves occasionally, and in spring we prune out the stalks that have 'flopped' out of the clump.
