Bamboo Patch

My Bamboo patch froze late this winter, so a lot of the leaves turned brown, and will drop soon. The culms survived just fine this year, tho! This photo is a little hyper, which makes the stand look kinda small. I would have sent a kid into the shot for scale, but the bamboo is just starting to send up the shoots, and I don't want anyone to walk around breaking them off! The bamboo shoots grow astonishingly fast, a few inches a day, until they reach their final height. After that, the only visible growth is more branching and leaves.

 

This is a 3d image. You will need your red/cyan 3d glasses to get the effect. Remember that the red lens goes over the left eye!
