Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Flavostriata'

Is that a valid name? If so I have never laid eyes on it.

If that link doesn't work go to Bamboo Botanical Facebook page, posted there by Stef Allzen...........

Ah so really it's 'Argus' which everyone is now hot to get. This picture by Allzen do you think it is exagerrated? I ask as I have never seen a photo of 'Argus' that made me sweat at the brow quite like this one.

If it received similar growing conditions as my spectabilis - which has a lot of green, not only thicker stripes on sulcus, but it often appears even on the opposite side (beside the green sulcus). Perhaps this is also a bit more colourful set of this year's shoots.

It does look fantastic...
