     the stems are shaped like bamboo and if you break them a clear liquid will drain out.  It isn't poisonous - in fact it is very edible.  

    I can see why it was brought over for ornamental gardens as it is very pretty.

  • another pic so you can see what i mean about the stems looking like bamboo

    Thanks for the above, that's what I have always looked for is the big stems, we never saw anything like that.
