Bamboo in common and rare colors
The most common color of bamboo in nature is of course green. On the other hand, bamboo painted in black ink is necessarily in various shades of gray. But Vermillion bamboo, that ought to be a rarity (see second image below, which is patterned after one found in Book of the Bamboo by Johnson Su-Sing Chow in the series the Fundamentals of Chinese Floral Painting, Vol. 3, Art Book Co. Ltd., Taiwan, 2006, pg. 205, that Hubby purchased online here).

Bamboo in so many different color iterations, oh my! The yellow and red bamboos do stand out and are definitely eye catching. Reminds me of rainbow hues, and both are relaxing and welcoming to the eyes.
