I was thinking it was more likely Gigantochloa atroviolacea but wasn't sure.

Anybody have an idea of what it is ? Gigantochloa atroviolacea or Bambusa lako ?

This bamboo is supposed to be one of the black bamboo's. Thanks

thank you for the info the pic was cool too

Anybody growing them and how many years until they flower ?

Here is a test

Yes it works with IMG code

blue latin the red petials mean nothing

Another Red Latin

Never heard of "strawberry palm" before but your palm looks like a blue latin (Latania loddigesii) to me. They are both red when young but the red is redder. Blue Latin http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f374/Davidlon/Palms%202/IMG_7694.jpg Red latin http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f374/D...

I sent a PM I hope you get because its still in my outbox. I sent a pm to someone else a while ago but I had no response.

Do you have any for sale Roy ? or are you teasing me ?

That is preferred but it seems hard to find so I am looking for any that are similar.

I'm looking for any clumping black bamboo.

I am not an expert and maybe this is not the case but some people do this to make a sell even when they don't have the plants yet. They hope they can get them before you cancel your order. Just a thought and I hope you get your plant.

If you sent pm I never received. Thanks
