Newest collected cane / native bamboo plant! I got the rhizome cutting on August 10th, and was finally able to put it in a container yesterday on the 22nd. It's spent the intervening time in a plastic shopping bag with damp paper towels. It seems to have enjoyed it: it's got very vigorously growing new shoots!

The plant it came from was found on the side of a road next to a cow farm, completely submerged in water.

One itty bitty section of #Arundinaria #cane that I'd found flowers on this spring has spent the past few months seemingly dying back -- but all of a sudden, it's got brand new leaves and leaf buds!

Found 3 new #Arundinaria #cane plants where I expected to only find one! Yay.

Found the first one using google maps after spotting it for .5 seconds out the car window, lol.

....Unless of course they're all remnants of the same original plant from around 2012 or so, when it can for sure be seen on google maps street view during construction of the park

#Arundinaria tecta, as far as I can tell!

Here's some photos of the rhizome showing air canals, and a large hollow space in the center: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/264741023
