Default I want to start growing bamboo!

I'm interested in growing bamboo both indoors and outdoors. *I would
like a little advice on how to get started, since from the reading
i've done it seems there are a lot of variables and options and it is
a bit overwhelming.

I live in Denver, CO *so we get a lot of sun. *It's warm in the summer
and snows in the winter. *My only option for outdoor planting would be
potted in an area that gets heavy afternoon sun.

Indoors, obviously, I can control the environment :-)

My questions a

what type of bamboo should I use?
Is it even possible to grow bamboo outdoors in colorado?
Where do i get the seeds?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you so much in advance


Also, forgot to mention, for those not familiar with Denver - it is
high altitude and very low humidity.
