Bamboo Seedlings

I just decided to do this , so I do not have to thread steal .. Any conversation is welcome ,,

#1 is a Albo-cerea Fargesia , This is the Black culm version of the "Ghost Bamboo" or white culm bamboo as near as I can comprehend .. took 6 months to germinate this , weakly seedling , but it is growing , has a new leaf today , when or if it gets larger , I will pic again .

2&3 are the same plant (Fargesia Sp Jiuzhaigou 4) pic 2 is last week , pic 3 is today 5 days later , Sprouted up in 4 days , only been about two weeks since I got the seeds ..

It appears to be doing well.

Thank you Cville I am always delighted when the seeds really are Bamboo and of course to hear from you ,,

Four tries ago I got grass , below ,,
The weakly one above is supposedly a new found species of Fargesia ,

It's difficult to find information about it. I'll be watching the progress. Hopefully you can add some photos and info to PlantFiles one of these days.

Today 1&2 the #4 and native River cane #3

Well to say fooey , I failed again with most I still have the river cane and the Green Panda ,

Here is a small river cane , or canebrake

I am trying again , My biggest mistake about all these attempts , To small a container to start .. The baby plants wanted to grow , fast and huge , So this time I am starting them in 10ib size grow bags ,
The Seedlings before just did not have the room to let runner nodes complete their development , No place have I read that , one of the things nobody told me , at least directly ,

Yeah Well ,, So Far , only this ,, a Fargesia Rufa , A success is a success ,, sort of ,,,

Aha !!! A Sprout this morning

Nice surprise , but I doubt it would make much of a breakfast ,,lol

Some are starting .
