[edit] Summary

Español: Floraciones del Bambú
Description

Bamboo trees flower once in many decades. I have a feeling this is a flowering bamboo, but I'm not sure. I'm going to look into it, but if anyone knows, let me know.

UPDATE: This indeed appears to be bamboo flowering. It happens once a decade to a century depending on the species. Here is a web page about it.
