My First Bamboo



Above is my first ever bamboo! One of my new coworkers left and so another one of them, K, gave me her bamboo. Did you know you can't take a bamboo it has to be given to you? I didn't! You learn something new everyday! I don't have a very good track record with plants so I'm a little nervous for the lifespan of my lil green one but I am determined to keep it alive! When I was in St Lucia they said you could actually watch their bamboo grow as it averages 4 - 6 inches a day!! That's insane! There are more than 70 genera divided into about 1,000 species of bamboo so I'm not exactly or even close to sure what kind mine his. But he's a nice little peice of the outside world in my office!
