My bissetii are flowering

My bissetii are flowering (in central PA). Anyone else?

Not good...
My Bissetii still have not shot this year. I am in Zone 5. I expect new shoots in the 2 weeks. Perhaps by earlier summer I will know if mine will flower. But even if it doesn't flower this year, it's due date is not far.

Hi:
I have three large Ph. bissetii groves, they have all started shooting last week (NJ zone 7). So far no sign of flowering. Out curiosity I did a Google search. It seems that Bissetii does Sporadic flowering, see Table 2 [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7180196/[/url] Maybe true, Maybe not. I'll post back it I see flowering. I started the grove from really small division 10+ years ago.

FYI: I was trying to get some more Ph. humilis, but the grower has told me all his potted plants are flowering, the ones I got last year are not showing signs of flowering.

Is it me, or does it seems like we are having an excessive amount of different bamboos flowering? Seems like it's getting progressively worse.
