what colours are the alternating ones, are they green and yellow? is
there a groove running the long way, which is one colour, and the rest
of the segment, the OTHER colour?

hermine

I'll have to go back with a camera, maybe this weekend. My memory is
more black and yellow, didn't notice a groove but I was a bit overwhelmed
by 40 acres of garden. I bought my first bamboo today, a Sasaella
masamuneana, either albostriata or aureostriata, they weren't sure and
it was the end of the season sale at a different nursery.
