Do you know this plant?  I love it;  it is Fatsia japonica.  It is a very cool landscape plant, as it likes shade and grows slowly.  I think it's interesting too that it was once classified in the genus Aralia which is the same genus as our familiar Devil's Walking Stick.  It looks similar, doesn't it.  The flowers are also similar:  creamy white clusters ripening to dark purple fruit.

 

There is also a sterile cultivar of English ivy crossed with Fatsia, called Fatshedera.  It has smaller leaves and a vining habit.  Another very cool landscape plant.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
