Tara: Twisty Bamboo - Kerry gave me this bamboo plant when we were both living in New Orleans and she and her husband were about to move to Hawaii. They were three stalks of twisty bamboo. When we moved from New Orleans to Memphis, I put this plant in the cupholder. I love it so much. Since Kerry has had them, there have been some changes. I had to change vases to a bigger one because they are so tall now and just recently, one of the bamboo broke. It's still alive just considerably shorter than the others. I hope the next place we get stationed, we get to drive to because I don't want to get rid of it for awhile. My dream is that someday I can give it back to Kerry when we are about to move. This means that we will live in the same city one day. That would be nice.

Awwww...that's so sweet!
(Some background info: I bought that bamboo at the mall in Philadelphia when I was visiting home one time and brought it back to New Orleans on the plane with me. That is some globetrotting bamboo!)
Wow, it really is. I wasn't sure if I would be able to take it on a plane but I guess if I just wrap it up with water somehow and stick it in a bag, no one would really know. Well, except security. I do know that I am never getting rid of it. If we have to go overseas and can't bring it, I'll leave it with my mom until I come back. I love that damn bamboo.
I think what I did was wrap up the roots in a damp paper towel, then put a plastic baggie over it with a rubber band. I do remember that I carried it on the plane in a shopping bag. Of course it was much smaller then!
I'm glad you like it. :)
