The sun heads south

A new culm

Sunlight has begun to hit the north wall during  morning and pm now, being blocked midday by the portico roof. Growing will become a little less stressful for the plants and myself as the overhead sun eases up some.

I fed (with Colorburst 15-30-15 on the blooming plants, Bougain on the bougainvillea) and watered in, the last two days had been sunny and dry. It doesn't take long here to cause the bamboo leaves to curl.

The culms on the bamboo ventricosa are coming up fine.  I hope they take on the distinct bulbous shape the bamboo is known for. There is probably a way to force them to do this. I'll have to check.
