GARDENING: Fatsia Japonica.....Cator Oil plant

Castor oil plant is what i thought it was called...had it years, it moved house with us 5 years ago, never seen this happen before

I noticed a week or two ago this 'thing' growing in the middle of the plant.

This morning it looked different so i went and took a closer look the 'thing' is bursting open

so I looked it up..Fatsia Japoniica and it seems it is flowering and we are in for a flowering treat...cant wait.
