Good deal, they should make good groves for you. Some of the rootballs look like they may be too small to support all of the foliage so you may need to top some of the culms, the nigra I see is curled in your photo but keep an eye on them and if the leaves stay curled after watering and when in the shade then you'll probably have to top them.

That's a great deal. I really like the light golden culms of the aureosulcata 'Aureocaulis' they will really stand out with a darker background behind them. Your nigra looks like mine, it is still spotted because it is young. Have a great time with your new bamboo.
