A friend showed me his plant at Crystal Waters, Qld which he had got from me some years ago, this was some months ago in Autumn. He wanted to show me the flowering and had failed to spot the seedlings scattered around the base. I dug some up and have them growing in pots now. Andre Leu up in Mossman mentioned to me last week that his atter is flowering also so it looks like this is a wide spread event. Keep your eyes on the ground for seedlings!Regards

Hi All. I had planted about 6 of the G.Atters about 5-6 years ago, and a few flowered a couple of years ago and then died without producing any viable seeds, the rest of them are now all flowering and also dying and still not producing any viable seeds, I also am in SE Qld. Australia.

Hi all,
I planted a G. atter last year (2009) in S-E QLD (Australia) and noticed last week that it is now flowering. It is only about 1m high.
I don't know when it started exactly and am not sure if this is the actual flower, or the remnants of the flower, or the seed.
It looks much like the photo shown here: http://www.bambooland.com.au/information_flowering.htm
Can anyone tell me how to best collect seeds and/or improve the chances for the "mother" to survive?
Thanks in advance!
