Giant Buddha Belly Bambusa Vulgaris ‘Wamin’
These magnificent swollen clums of this plant are intoxicating, I dare anybody to stand close to a one of these plants and not touch it. This is another outstanding plant that grows well in Melbourne’s climate, although the leaves will deteriorate after a long cold winter.

Rejuvenation will be quick as it warms up and a bright green mass of long slender leaves will umbrella the culms.
