| ▲ | shmeeed 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | See my other comment - it's neither bamboo nor rattan, but a kind of asparagus. | | |
| ▲ | dekhn 29 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Ah, I was thinking of the rattan chairs, some of which are woven into patterns although I don't see any helices. |

| Camphor Laurel (Camphora officinarum) in ideal conditions, and for a patient individual, can be observed to grow. I don’t only if it’s suitable for this particular application, and it’s considered a noxious weed in Australia. |
