# bamboo #

The simple lines and perfect arches of bamboo belie its complexity. These are the ultimate clonal organisms. Stems (culms) repeat stems as the basic unit of growth, each composed of a telescopic set of nodes and internodes of subtly varying proportions. Primary branches repeat stems in miniature; secondary branches repeat primary branches …. the beauty and the serenity they impart lies in this repetition with subtle yet endless variation.
