Yes, I assumed you didn't take them or you would probably have known what they were... :)

Here is an interesting blog post: http://botanyboy.org/moso-japans-giant- ... ys-edulis/

P. Edulis is nothing like Bambusa ventricosa. Why do you ask? One is a clumper, one is a runner. One is temperate, one is semi-tropical. But you
can use google to educate yourself.
