Fatsia japonica, also glossy-leaf paper plant, fatsi, paperplant, false castor oil plant, or Japanese aralia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to southern Japan, southern Korea, and Taiwan. The name fatsi is an approximation of the Japanese word for 'eight' (hachi in modern romanization), referring to the eight leaf lobes. It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant in warm temperate regions where winters do not fall below about −15 °C. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 1–3 m tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. 32230
Another official name of this pretty shrub is Edgeworthia chrysantha which belies the orange colors of this flower. Hence I put up another specific name 'Tomentosa'. It's the same shrub that was also called Daphne papyrifera or Edgeworthia papyrifera. Perhaps this colorful shrub is a cultivar. In any case, these Edgeworthias were - and perhaps still are - used in Japan to make paper for banknotes. It's a delightful flower that springs forth from entirely naked branches.
Green Bay & Western train 2 crosses the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, on the afternoon of October 3, 1992. The Badger State is known for its paper production, and a large paper plant looms behind the eastbound train.

I might be wrong, it could be a Paperplant flower, I can't remember. :(

Fatsia japonica, also fatsi, paperplant, false castor oil plant, or Japanese aralia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to southern Japan and southern Korea.
It is an evergreen shrub growing to 1–5 m (3 ft 3 in – 16 ft 5 in) tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. The leaves are spirally-arranged, large, 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in) in width and on a petiole up to 50 cm (20 in) long, leathery, palmately lobed, with 7–9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. The flowers are small, white, borne in dense terminal compound umbels in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black fruit in spring.

I did see some of these this morning, but being out without my camera couldn't do much about getting a photo.

I love how the fruit on a Paperplant turn black.

Much to my delight when I went past the Paperplant last month, I didn't see one Asian Predatory Wasp.

Passing by the Paperplant flower ~ Fatsia japonica I noticed that the predatory wasps are sadly well and truly back in town. I'd so hoped that the cold spell we had in January would have killed them off.
I took this on zoom and each time it moved (before I got this photo), I was being *very* careful.

Fatsia japonica (syn. Aralia japonica Thunb., A. sieboldii Hort. ex K.Koch), also glossy-leaf paper plant, fatsi, paperplant or Japanese aralia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to southern Japan, southern Korea, and Taiwan.
It is an evergreen shrub growing to 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in–9 ft 10 in) tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. The leaves are spirally-arranged, large, 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in) in width and on a petiole up to 50 cm (20 in) long, leathery, palmately lobed, with 7–9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. The flowers are small, white, borne in dense terminal compound umbels in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black fruit in spring.
The name "fatsi" is an approximation of the old Japanese word for 'eight' (hachi in modern Japanese), referring to the eight lobes. In Japan it is known as yatsude, meaning "eight fingers". The name "Japanese aralia" is due to the genus formerly being classified within a broader interpretation of the related genus Aralia in the past.

... (or also known as a paperplant).
In a lovely garden of a house that is now for sale. There were loads of bees, butterflies, wasps, hoverflies all over it, but it was too far away to catch any of them.

End of 2023 :)
An Asian Predatory Wasp. Blinking things are back.
Read an interesting articular online the other day. They have been found in the UK, but the organisation who deal with pests have found and destroyed the nests.
Pity we didn't do the same thing here, as now their number is too high to do anything to stop them.

We drove out to Cape Disappointment to get some lighthouse pictures, and stopped in a Longview for a bite before making the last part of the trip back home. While there, I couldn't resist taking some pictures of part of the paper plant, which is always lit up at night. I really can't resist things like this.
I haven't had much success with digital night pictures as of yet. This is an exception.

Not far from home is a huge A Paperplant flower ~ Fatsia japonica.
Sadly the Asian Predatory wasps love it as much as our native bees, wasps and flies.
This morning when I went past there were far more of them than I have ever seen, up to about 20 I think.
Although there were some flies, I didn't notice any of the normal wasps or bees.
Taken with great care and attention on full zoom.
