I've always wondered why they call Japanese Bamboo... Japanese Bamboo. They don't look Japanese to me. They're messy and have thick leaves that look not at all refined. Well, now I know why they're called Japanese Bamboo. It's because their flowers look like origami.
The flowers seem to bloom at night. They look like sprays of fireworks against the dark green foliage. In the day time, they retire into buds and look very non-descript. I can't believe my Japanese Bamboo flowered. I think few people have had this happen to them.

is it a good luck thing for bamboo to flower or just jap bamboo? i was surprised when my bamboo flowered. never knew they had flowers.
Sinfonia - I have no clue... I read somewhere that once a bamboo flowers the whole clump will die. I'm waiting to see what'll happen to mine! *Fingers crossed*
