What is the plant to the right of the Fuchsia?

I think it might be a Fatsia, but there are lots of people here with more knowledge than me - so you will probably get a definitive answer very soon.

Could be - mine has definite palmate leaves from strong stems. Not entirely convinced, though - if it grows THAT fast!!

Whatever it is, its not Fatsia japonica - this plant has those peculiar cut outs in the "fingers" of the palmate leaves. Could it be some kind of fig?

There you go - thought I was unlikely to be right! Will leave the identifying to the pros for the time being ;-)

No, no, muddywellie, keep having a go - that's how you learn, in the end, and you were sort of right, it is a bit like Fatsia;-)

That's very kind and charitable of you to say that I was sort of right - but I think I will have to bow to wisdom greater than mine in this instance! I'm off to impress people who don't know anything about plants with my vast knowledge.....
Can't wait to see if anybody can actually name it too. M

We've all got to start somewhere - I still cringe with embarrassment when I recall asking some people we were visiting how come the Cistus were in flower in July - it was two days later that I realised they weren't Cistus, they were Potentilla! I think the worst thing about it was that the person clearly realised I'd got it wrong - AND NEVER SAID! And I'd been working as a gardener for some 2 years by then .... ;-)
And to the subject in hand - I think it might definitely be a Ficus carica of some variety (Fig)

Agree with Bamboo

It looks like a fig. If you plant a fig in the shade it doesn't fruit but produces lots of foliage
