H. falconeri Damarapa Candystripe

New culms of Candystripe - experimenting with my new camera. Yellow and green stripes seem to predominate in 1 to 2 sun/shade zones.
Red and pinks dominate in sun. Rgds

Wow, those are some nice culms!

Fred - are you saying the red color is strongest on new culms in sun, and that it fades to pink on culms that get sun, but fades completely on shaded culms?

Gene - no flowering that I know of. Re coloring - it's an either or. In sun red/pink predominates. In shade, yellow, green predominates. There can be combinations of all in 1/2 sun-shade. Size also seems very dependent on sun/shade. RGds

My Candystripe is going to flower???? :cry:

Not the most cold tolerant of boos, but I have managed to keep a nice one going here.

I saw several flowering candy stripes at a large wholesale bamboo nursery last week. So this one is gonna gregariously pop from the looks of it.

And if they get some seeds from this flowering, and the seeds produce seedlings, what do you think the seedlings will look like?

I have already heard of some folks getting seedlings out of their Damarapa- Green seedlings! So does that mean the new gen seedlings are just H. falconeri? (rather than H. falconeri 'Damarapa')

My yellow and green striped Bambusa multiplex 'A. Karr' produce about a 1000 seedlings and they are all green, as in Bambusa multiplex. Not a yellow one in the bunch.

So could you do node propagation now and reproduce the original? Or would a cut culm also flower?

Seems like to me if the internal clock of this one is saying "flower", then the culm node, and it's resulting "offspring" would have the same genetic material in it and would be saying "flower!".
