Been staying with sister in law (Chislehurst) I asked her what this plant was, she didn't know, said my daughter bought it for her years ago.

The leaves certainly look like Ivy but we didn't think it was. Doesn't seem to grow like my various Ivy's. Thanks for answering.

The leaves look like the ones you get on the so called Tree ivies, but the flowers are not really correct for those either. A close up of the flowers might hwlp.

Star I have never tried. The late husband used to say "Listen to John (son) and you will learn!! Huh he didn't know how to turn PC on. John always said "I am here so often no need for Mum to learn everything" Once they are in my photo file I can then deal with them. (Hope he comes tomorrow to download the pics on camera :)

I do not think ivy leaves come off the stem with a stalk like that, so I will now go with the fatsia, although they seem very small and dark.

I only think it may be Fatsia if you posted a picture of a young leaf, Lorna. The older leaves are huge and palmate (is that the word I'm looking for?)

Georgie I have had a google. fatsia japonica, found one showing dark green leaf, but I think I also read that the leaf has 8 points (well that's not the right word :)). Going to have another read in the morning. That photo was taken in October and the plant is several years old. It is growing straight up and is about 6ft tall.

Lorna. I was at Capel Manor today and I think I spotted your plant. It's Fatshedera Lizei, a cross between Fatsia and Ivy. Here's a link:

Many thanks Georgie. Certainly looks like the leaf. Going to forward to sister-in-law for her to check her plant again.
