First off I have to say I love this site. I have been here since last November. I joined so I could increase my knowledge before I ordered the plants. And have been reading as much as I can ever since.
I am in zone 5 so I got basjoo and sikkimensis. I am pretty sure I got the correct plants for the sikkimensis but I am unsure of the basjoo. I have not found any where that the description states that there should be red/maroon splash on the top side of the leaves of basjoo.
Here are the pictures of the 4 basjoo planted in the ground.

Here are the Sikkimensis. I am sorry but I did not get a picture of the maroon color on the underside of the leaves, like I said I think I got the correct plants so I did not take as many pictures.

If these are basjoo's GREAT if not what would you guess they are? If more pictures are needed I can take them, just let me know what you need.
