Just now starting to get my camera to work on stoophid Windows 10, took new hardware and two new software programs...thus far. All of my bamboo was in pots until late 10/2017 so they still look like clumpers in the ground but my intent is to maintain them in that type profile.
Sinobambusa tootsik 'Albostriata' - I'll get a better photo later, this guy is a hoot, very pompom like and lush, looks like it will be much taller soon.
Pleioblastus maculatus
Bambusa pervariabilis 'Viridistriata' - 2 year old mail order plant now leaping up in size
Dendrocalamus sp. 'Parker's Giant' - no flowers yet, 3 new shoots emerging thus far one looks to be as big or an upsize - photos as it creeps out. Tropical shoots seem to me like they are much slower to elongate.
Bambusa eutuldoides 'Viridivitata' - 2 year old mail order pushing multiple shoots this week.

Having fun with the sub-tropicals I see. Some nice looking options, and the pompom one looks from Dr Suess.

Re: Misc...
Hoping to have fun with a wide variety, I have members of Sasa, Indocalamus, Fargesia, Borinda, Dendrocalamus, Bambusa, Chimonocalamus, Chimonobambusa, Phyllostachys, Sinobambusa, Hibanobambusa, Himalayacalamus, Pleionlastus, Yushania, Sasaella, Pseudosasa, Shibataea, Semiarundinaria all subjected to many +100F days, low humidity, frequent winds, and hard dry already cracked ground. Will probably add Otatea soon, I managed to kill a beautiful vigorous Mayan Glauca winter before last and the Chusquea & Drepanostachyum got very angry with conditions.

I still have a bunch of Chusqua Gigantia if you want it. Doing ok in ground, but doesn't like pots.

Might have to grab one, I note that it is flowering in Europe.
