blooming bamboo

I've asked my SO to check it out with the bamboo gurus -- we have about 30
varieties planted hither and yon so far, and it is my understanding that it
is NOT an old wives tale -- and I believe that all the bamboo of that
variety anywhere in the world all flower at the same time.

It is a fascinating plant -- we have so enjoyed watching it shoot -- he goes
out every night with his little plastic flags, marking where the shoots have
come up that day -- I think with some patience you could actually watch it
grow -- several shoots have grown 12 inches or more in one day.
