Plenty of flowers on the Tetrapanax papyrifa 'rex' this year

Fantastic, they remind of the fatsia in ways.

No surprise, as they're close relatives

Still just in bud in Adrian's pic, not actually out yet.

That will explain it then conifers thanks for that information.

Adrian, the t rex you very kindly gave me earlier in the year is a very handsome plant now. It's five foot tall!

I love it.

Planted this Tetrapanax papyrifera at a business establishment near the River Thames nearly fifteen years ago[ as a single plant in the corner of the border, not realising its rampant tendencies. There are flowering plants all the way along the border of the same size. The contract gardeners planted a Fatsia in the tub in front of it and it does look lost.

Took this shot earlier this month.

A close-up.

Think this was just plain Tetrapanax papyrifera. Don't know if the likes of T-Rex or 'Steriol Giant' were in cultivation back in 1997.
