New shoots emerge
in the spring.

Bamboos come in many
shapes, sizes and colors.

Fresh bamboo can be
used as a baking pan,
and unique serving dish.

Sheaths of large running
bamboos make excellent
wraps to steam, grill
or bake food.

Bamboo very rarely flowers
making it the perfect plant
for those with allergies.
