I haven't been to visit my cottage since August. I am going this weekend. I can't wait to catch up with my plants. I'll update the forum with a bunch of pics of bamboo and others (Gunnera included).

johnw - That nursing home must have a nice collection of rare and exotic plants thanks to you.

Home depot had their rufas on sale for 5 bucks as did Sobey's. I wouldn't jump at $20, that was suggested retail at the locations mentioned above.

Aureocaulis for sure. The pink culms and random striping on the leaves settles it. It's no less hardy than the others in the aureosulcata clan in PEI. It has maintained a lot of green leaves with no protection even as a juvenile plant. http://img.tapatalk.com/8ea7cb68-e731-f30d.jpg http://img.tapata...

Johnw - the Sobey's here is 75% off everything.
I just picked up a bunch of rufa. 5 bucks each.
