LOL, ardesia! I'm adventurous and will eat pretty much anything. I tried cooking a couple of shoots from this bamboo, and it was so bitter! I boiled it and boiled it - wasn't worth the trouble. I suppose if we were starving after a hurricane . . . amazing your retriever would eat it! Maybe the running bamboo is better tasting.

This one stays in a clump, thank goodness. New shoots pop up around it and in the middle after a heavy rain and we break off the ones we don't want.

Another turnera plant - this one's a bit more creamy.
