Fatsia Japonica

Also known as a Castor Oil plant. I spotted this in a garden in our road and the owner kindly gave me permission to chop a bit off to photograph indoors. Now I've photographed it the seeds will be saved for planting in our garden.

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone and I hope you all have a splendid weekend..!!

Thanks for your visit and kind comments Güni......I'm really pleased you like this one, and it would be nice to have it growing in the garden in due course. I'm glad you like the background as well.

Have a lovely evening and don't forget the clocks go back at 2am tomorrow.

How big will this plant grow? It looks beautiful and delicate. Fatsia japonica is poisonous, especially for pets such as cats and dogs,

The shrub I got this bit off was around 1 metre high, but I suspect it will get bigger. I had no idea it was poisonous!

Glad you like the look of it though aNNa........and thanks for dropping in!

Whoo! This is a first class shot I like the little clusters of what I assume to be new flowers waiting to bloom, as ever it looks great viewed large :)

PS just a thought but I would have gone in real close on one of the little clusters but hey that's just me!

Thank you so much James........I'm pleased you like this one. Thanks for your kind comments as always.

I never even considered getting some proper macro shots. I might see if I can scrounge another piece of the plant and have a go..!!
