I’d have loved a plantation of bamboo
to shield me from the rough weather
and chaos of the world
But I’m content with a little blue clump
shooting up narrow leaves on skinny legs

A cup of tea
a good book
for great company
Life is full

I named this Himalayan Weeping Bamboo, also known as Blue Bamboo ‘Manzu’ 满足 (means being content)

    1. It needs yearly trimming to make it grow bushy instead of in height. They grow up to 3m in height. I aim to keep them up to 1.7m tall to keep the ratio of the pot size.
