NanaMan, you are really gonna love the B. emeiensis 'Viridiflavus' . Once it takes off you are really gonna be impressed. It is a very beautiful bamboo, and it gets loads of leaves. It is a very fast grower under the right conditions, and is still rare enough that you will have something not many have once it gets to maturity. Great choice.
On the multiplex, I might be able to id it if you can provide a couple of pics. If I cannot, I know who can if you would like.
With the B.vulgaris 'Vittata', I have learned that this bamboo is odd in relation to cuttings. Don't give up on those others, because this one has been known to sit quietly for almost a year before you realize it finally did take. What is so odd, is that usually the ones that take so long grow the fastest, and outpace the others that took quickly. Its really amazing about this one, how its has so much energy in the culms that it can sit like it does for so long, before taking off.
You and Greenie are doing a great job, as evident by your pics.
