Who knew -- that Colombia has 70 species of bamboo and that it plays a significant role in the culture and economy of the country! This photo was taken in the Botanic Gardens, where the Medellin Bookfair was held. Historically, this was the place of drug dealings and dead bodies being abandoned. Today, it's been beautified and cultural events take place here.
We have bamboo that grows all around us and is native here in Georgia, but I always think Japan also!! Don't know why, because it's everywhere! LOL Love these stalks and the different colors,sizes and shapes. Great textures!! FAV!
As a employee of a lumber yard I have learned that bamboo is one of the best products for replanting and quacking having a useable product. A very green product.
