Baby bamboos

It's that time of year again, when it feel like everything living around here multiply. Last year we had both baby parrots, tons of kittens, babies and giant bamboo sprouts.
Have you ever seen giant bamboo grow? It grows about 20 cm in one night, and it feel like they're never going to stop. So after last year's invasion, we decided to keep the sprouting on a minimum level this year. Well guess what I just saw; almost 10 new sprouts!

The funny thing about bamboos is that when they're growing, they look like a pole just coming out of the ground, and they never make any leaves before they've stopped at their final height (more than 10m) and then they start to create leaves, but from the top and down. I'll try and get you a photo if we let any of them grow this year.
