A Visitor

 


Not the best picture in the world but a first for me and especially when it was in our garden.

Fatsia


 A new addition to the garden. Fatsia Japoinca : Spiders Web or Japanese Aralia. Japanese Aralia is prized for its glossy palmate foliage that brings a lush, tropical feel to planting schemes. Fatsia 'Spiders Web' is a particularly intriguing variety with speckled markings that spread inwards from the outermost edges. The overall effect is an unusual, frosted appearance. Clusters of globular white flowers in autumn are followed by black berries. Despite its exotic looks, this evergreen shrub is perfectly hardy. A superb choice for those challenging, shaded positions. Height and spread: 2m (78").
