Bamboo Blossom

Bamboo blossoming is a natural phenomenon in which the bamboos in a location flower or "blossom" and become hung with bamboo seeds. Most flowering plant species blossom annually, or more than once a year, but bamboo is unusual in that the plants only flower at intervals of several years, and after flowering, the plant dies. Typically, all specimens of a species flower and then die the same year, then new plants grow from their seeds.
