Bamboo Dreams

21 years ago

Night before last I dreamed that two of my bamboos were flowering. One theory of dream interpretation has it that our dreams can be revealing to us - if we imagine everything in the dream as some part of ourselves. So IÂm a flowering Thamnocalamus Crassinodus. I am no doubt going through major life changes, but my Blue Big Node Bamboo (my way to say Thamnocalamus Crassinodus without tripping over my tongue) isnÂt flowering. "Blue Big Node" is a clumping bamboo, in case you don't know it. Bamboo is so aggressive, I think men often admire it for that quality, not to mention the possible phallic envy aspect. I do notice that the main tenor of the posts are common sensical, and humorous, but rarely lyrical. Anybody here have bamboo dreams you remember? How many females are posting here?

Female posting here!! LOL

I am new to bamboo and have kind of jumped in with both feet. I love anything that grows, but have fallen head over for bamboo.

I bought 9 in the last 2 months! (lady gone wild) and my husband who only likes plants that feed him has also decided there is something special about boo's.
He wants to get as many as we can sustain on our 1+ acre.

Male posting here!!

Patris,
rest assured, your husband will be able to eat shoots once some of your plantings are sizable.

SeattleBoo,
I don't really remember dreams so I can't help you there. Even though I agree in your statement on the aggressive nature, a lot of my interest comes from its uniqueness. (especially in my area)

Speaking of dreams, this is more of a nightmare: I heard once that people in the tropics have been staked above bamboo rhizomes, so new shoots would kill them by growing through them over several days ...

culms growing through people... would be neat if a movie picked up on that one. even better if it was a Cowboy.
(sorry all, just like respecting elders, being a Steelers fan it is culturally necessary to hate the Cowboys. Not the state or city of Dallas, just the Cowboys - maybe Jerry Jones)

I'm female, although many assume I am male. I am new to bamboo this spring, and in March got to clumps of black bamboo, and right after planting it I got 4 new shoots from one clump and two from the other. The first new shoot has already turned black. What a nice suprise that was as I heard it takes about 3 years for the cane to turn from green to black.
