That's true, LOL.

It is neat though to be on the beach in the Big Island with hot weather and see snow cover on the peak of Mauna Loa.

so many beautiful places across Canada, you guys are so lucky.

Having such a beautiful natural beauty so close to home, well, why should one leave home during Holiday at all? I wonder...

I spend my Holidays in either Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid or Los Angeles and Chicago, sometimes like soon again, in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal (I am sure I am gonna fall in love with Montreal again!)

I like Montreal too! I always said that if I have to leave Vancouver, Montreal would be my next home city.

Thank you Angel!

Los Angeles is my playground, where I grew up for a very important part of my life and is a very memorable place and I cherish it dearly to the heart. One of the most beautiful places on this planet, with a beauty that only those who can look through and see, will be able to feel/see/experience it.

And Los Angeles has one of the most beautiful sexiest skylines across North America.

Beautiful Vancouver bamboo and grass to I.D.

There are other clumping types besides Fargesia; and yes, phyllostachys are all runners, though to varying degrees. Easy to contain with rhizome barrier, available from most specialty bamboo retailers, of which there are several in the Lower Mainland/Valley. This is the best option for containment, and is most likely the method used in the photo.
