Hi, there are restrictions on importing seeds. Not sure if Rome is any different. Anyone else know the specifics?

Has there ever been a documented case of a "Bambusa lako seed" sold that produced a bamboo plant that looked like what we know as Bambusa lako?

And now we are going now to Bambusa chungii? I'm predicting another Dendrocalamus strictus type plant.

Yea I was thinking the same thing Roy.

Would love to see the photos, references, and some documentation of that particular Lako or Chungei that was flowering! And we are still waiting.....

Is there a guide to verify accurately what bamboo seed of Lako or Chungie looks like?

If not, then it has to be the perfect scam for cons selling on eBay, so only buy from reputable sources is my motto.

With that said, I am always interested to learn about flowering bamboo and I shall continue to wait for some verifiable seed.

The problem is "I can't find any reputable sources selling any B. lako seeds". I guess that's an answer in itself.

So who is going to be the bad guy and reply to this post: http://www.bambooweb.info/bb/viewtopic. ... 8240#28240

That they are probably growing a whole lot of D. strictus?

Oh wait, I guess that makes me the bad guy again.

Moso I have grown.

Also, D. Strictus, D. Giganteus, B. Lako, and unknown.

Not positive on the ID of the Lako and Giganteus
He probably has moso, as I've heard of others being successful with it and there are a number of pictures showing moso seed to be long slender seeds.

He is not certain on the ID of the Lako and Giganteus, which I would be suspect on these also.

The D. strictus is probably D. strictus.

The problem with growing bamboo seed, with an uncertain identity, is that you spend so much time and effort to grow it to full size, and then you and no one else has any real idea what it is. Now if it has some unique properties that you could see, then that would be another thing. But usually the only uniqueness is the unknown ID.

I guess I should have done a better job quoting, but I was referring to the part of the post that you quoted, Roy. Everything I've ever seen sold as D. giganteus or B. lako has turned out to be D. strictus. And that is speaking from personal experience. :cry:

And as you said, the moso seeds are probably correct.

You want to provide some documentation such as photos of your seedlings? I know a good number of people who are growing Bamboo lako seedlings, but the plants look nothing like Bambusa lako. Looks more like D. strictus.

Hopefully your pictures of the Bambusa lako seedlings will be forth coming so that we can do observations of the seedlings characteristics.

A good number of people have posted pictures of their B. lako (?) seedlings and I'm sure when they see your request, then they will post them again on this thread.
