I don't think it's a Cheeseplant.
Fatsia or Castor Oil plant rings a bell.
I like the water droplets

Thanks.

It rained overnight- I heard it- but the sun is shining now.

Rained down here,too. Sun breaking throught now.
I wonder,how on earth, it it known as Castor Oil plant. I'm sure Castor oil doesn't come from it.
Maybe because it's shiney?

I think you're right. I've been looking at pictures of castor oil plants online. They closely resemble what I've got.

Apparently castor oil is extacted from the plant's seed.

it's been outside for about 3 years - winter and summer. It must like it there

Three years- as long as that? I lose count.

I can't tell you what your plant "is", but I can say with some degree of certainty what it is not. :-) Not "swisscheese" plant (known as "split leaf philodendron" over here). That plant has a long central vein that the smaller beins branch off from whereas this plant has all the veins radiating from a central point.

Looks like Fatsia japonica to me.

Could well be. I've followed up on your suggestion- and there's a photo of fatsi japonica on a BBC website that's almost a duplicate of mine (except that mine is better).

Good call!

Thanks. That narrows things down.

Well, it looks like it is brimming over with good health and is happy as a plant can be.

:)

It is too. The secret is benign neglect.

It looks beautiful!

It's having a good summer.
