Flowering in sync
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth, developing as much as 10 centimeters in one day. Certain species grow about 1 millimeter every 2 minutes which means that you can actually see the plant grow in front of your eyes. Some species show even more mysterious behaviour.
Every 130 years the entire species of Madake Bamboo flowers in unison, no matter where in the world they, are as long as they are from the same parent tree, and then the bamboo dies.
