Yes, Bamboo is a weed here. Like crabgrass, only worse--12 feet tall and a web of roots that Bucyrus Erie can hardly move. But I like it. Mine are in containers. I got them when Josh was weeding his property edge. Our neighbor has some that have nearly black stems. The Atlanta Zoo used to come to gather some for the pandas. I shall have to go to ask for a few shoots. I like painting Bamboo. So did Wu Chen. He wrote a book on it 700 years ago.
The colored pic is watercolor. It takes four coats to get black.
Ooh, the black makes it look sylvan shiny.
