It has taken years for this ‘Spider’s Web’ Fatsia japonica to look this healthy. I pulled it out a few feet from the corner to give it more room and rain.
I guess that was a good call. I am fascinated by varieagated leaves. Each leaf has its own pattern of white.
This Fatsia finally looks happy.
It rained last night. I love mornings in the garden after it has been refreshed by rain. The plants look so appreciative and perky.
Here are a few photos of my favorites sprinkled with sparkling drops.

How many hoops must I jump through to keep this shrub happy? Sometimes it looks like it is thriving and other times I must grab some clippers and cut off browning, misshappen leaves.
It is in a shaded corner, out of wind with moist soil. I cut about eight leaves off before taking this photo of the blooms. I know that is cheating/staging. Chill sticklers.
I fell in love with its variegated leaves. You can see why its name is ‘Spider’s Web’ Fatsia japonica.
Stay tuned for its black berries.

If any of you have a clue about what is wrong by looking at the removed leaves, please message me.
