fredgpops,
Spring must be just around the corner! Your garden will be hopping soon. Getting tired of waiting for it to get to my neck of the woods. My bamboos won't shoot for at least two more months.

Update on the Th. tessellatus you sent me: most of the new leaves it put out last summer have been scorched, but the main culm still has good color. I hope the upper branches will releaf. Some leaves very close to the ground have survived.

Many thanks again for your generosity.

I'll have to check the ones I have, but that does seem really out of season for quite a few of them. I guess you're not getting the same rainfall as we're getting up here north of S.F. It seems a month early even for the winter shooting P.violescens, but the square isn't surprising.
