Hello,
could you please identify which family/species do these two bamboo stands belong to?
They're grown in Europe, took a few pictures using flash.
Thank you
1st stand

2nd looks like Phy aurea, 1st not enough to go on, aurea can be easily ID'd by those distorted nodes but the 1st lacks distinguishing features - to my eye anyway.

Second must be Phyllostachys aurea, the first one could be Phyllostachys viridiglaucescens. Leaves seem to be grey from the bottom and if I remember correctly, P. viridiglaucescens is quite common in Europe.
If you can provide more photos of bamboo, especially photos of its shoots, we might be able to give you better ID - my answer is just a wild guess.

Thank you very much for your replies, I really appreciate them.
Here is another shot of the 1st stand. There are no young shoots emerging, however if you need more features of the grown culms please tell me and I'll get some detailed/macro photos.
Each culm has a diameter around 2" (5 cm) and the stand has an area of about 390 square feet (added those info but I'm not sure they can help in ID).
The first ones above were taken in low light using flash while this one below was taken in daylight.
Thanks again
