If the culms are smooth it's not Aureocaulis, as all forms of this have a rough,sandpapery surface. Allgold dose have green stripes but there usually very narrow and very sparse, I've never seen one with that ammount of striping. I'd have a go on Vivax, seems to fit you're description and photo quite well.

LOL, mxyplux, I was thinking it would be banana/date bread with peanut butter. Yeah....I was wrong. I'd still eat that, though, if I could skip the banana.... Annie

I think plants will add more texture, volume, and true outdoor feel to your space than art or murals. At three areas along the wall, I'd hang a trellis with a planter at the bottom and train ivy, or any other kind of vine that thrives in your climate, to grow up the trellis. You can also put an arm on the trellis for hanging baskets. Or add tall shrubs to them. For more texture add bamboo roll fencing to the wall. Or put tall grasses in containers. They are often fast growing, good bang for your buck, and take up a lot of visual space. They look great in the breeze too. What climate are you in? I disagree with Patricia. I had ivy in planters and it grew quite well up trellises that I used to block the view between me and a neighbor. However, it is not quick and I think you want something more instantaneous.
