Re: Sasaella masamuneana 'Aureostriata' flowering.

Yellow Groove Bamboo Flowering

I will get a positive ID on this one but all that I could see hanging over the fence at my friends house indicated yellow groove and it looked like Harbin to me but I will have to ask his neighbor if he has an ID for his plant.
