Took one last trip to CA last week and snapped a few photos, I hope the new owner appreciates the rare collection and is prepared to battle the Cone X which looks like it will be in the phone lines next year! I'm a bit saddened to be starting over with bamboo for the 3rd time but Hawai'i should produce great results quickly so...
B oldhamii
Why vivax HI
Pl maculatus
A 2-year old B ventricosa 'Clone X'
B textilis 'Silverstripe'
The most expensive bamboo I've ever bought and it displays none of the characteristics for which I paid up - named by the nursery as Bambusa textilis 'Moraensis' - the parent plant has major portions of the culms that are solid white or heavily striped, maybe someday this one too but not yet.
My B textilis 'Kanapaha', 2 years old and leaping in size, not flowering yet
Alphonse Karr
Bambusa emiensis - both forms the green one really leapt in size this year
Chungii jumped to 2"+ and 30' in 2 years, produced a dozen new culms so far this year
And one of my favorite non-bamboo plants I've ever grown - Aloe goliath at 8' already

Re: Parting shots
Wow, you planted a fine garden in the place in CA, I remember when you were posting pics of early plantings there. I could imagine it would make one a little wistful, however HI will be an improvement, no doubt.

Re: Parting shots
Thanks, yeah it was essentially a bare lot and in 3 years there are only pathways through it.
