Exceptionally Large Alphonse Karr Bamboo
While touring the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, I spotted this Bambusa Multiplex 'Alphonse Karr' which I was very surprised at the culm size! See below and note that I am 6'2" with large hands...

I guess you can't even trust a conservatory's label of plants!
