Ok, I'l bite: Ph. violascens?

P.S.: What are those mutants in the pot in the last photo?

water hyacinth

Is it Dendrocalamus latiflorus 'Mei-nung'? The striping on the culms is fantastic.

I'll take a guess and say Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacia...

B. dolichomerithalla, B. textilis 'Albostriata', or B. tulda 'Striata'?

Well im way off. I though it was P. Harbin.

Whatever the boo is, you must have a pretty nice piece of property. What about that! Your own boat moored right off your deck!

Note the cool bamboo (PVC??) railing

I agree with Guada, it is Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacia -Maxima

Nice... But why the need for water plants ontop?

I have a pond full of them... just wondering

Among all of the guessing, Kentuck_8b had the closer one:
he got "Bambusa" and "Striata" but didn't realized that
he was looking at an "unrecorded" species in Bambusa family

OldHamii 'Striata' - a Oldhamii with stripes!!

Here is the answer:

Coolshare, you are perverse! Someday I'm going to figure out how to even the score!

I thought it looked like an oldhamii, but never knew there was a striped variety. Where did you find that one ?

I found it in a boo nursery in n CA and there was another
label on it as "not for sale" :)

This the first generation with variegated appearance -
there is no guarantee next generation will keep the
behaviou - I am crossing my fingers.

But I can help to see how beautiful it will be: big Oldhamii culms with stripes like Vitatta!

No, I should say

"But I can't help to see how beautiful it will be: big Oldhamii culms with stripes like Maxima!"

Here some photos of my Oldhami - so I been told. I am not really sure what it is - planted it a few years ago from a cutting of rings and now i have 3 nice clumps growing in different areas of the yard. I love it.
