Oh, blast the thing. I'm trying to work out what the name is of a plant is that I'd like in my garden, and the decision-tree or photo-identification things I can find all seem to be for native species or else for trees. And of course garden-centre websites all organise their collections by name! This is very annoying.
It's the thing in the left foreground of this picture- it's a commonish garden shrub. Long smooth stalks, ending in big palmate leaves (looking quite like fig leaves.) Any guesses?
