This is interesting as we had bamboo flowering en masse in Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), Mumbai in Dec 2007. Subsequently, it was reported elsewhere too!
I saw one bamboo plant flowering in Silonda Trail in SGNP last Sunday. The rest were all dead. However, in some places on the same trail we can still see a carpet of bamboo grass.
