flickr favorites … uses of bamboo



Jeff and I share a love for the beauty and usefulness of the fastest growing plant on earth and among the most primitive of grasses. Every morning the sun rises and emits its rays through the tall stalks of our giant bamboo. The magnificence of the bamboo and the need to cut it back has created ideas (many ideas … it's not difficult; it has been noted that there are more than 1,000 uses for bamboo).

“Bamboo is both road and map
where use and beauty overlap…
...Bridges, baskets, paper, flutes
in summer, shade, at dinner, shoots…”
