Well, I continue to watch this one. It has put on a new leaf and it looks just like the 3-lobed green leaf that came out last. Hmmmm. Someone on another plant forum said maybe a variegated Fatsia japonica.

I don't know why I typed Fallopia Japonica in the OP. I meant to type Fatsia Japonica. But it won't let me edit it anymore, or at least not tonight.

I've decided it has got to be some sort of ivy, possibly Algerian or Needlepoint.

Nope, I don't think it is an ivy after all. The newest leaf has FIVE lobes! I'm beginning to think it's a variegated Fatsia japonica aralia now. Here's the newest leaf:

I'm sure enjoying watching this volunteer and trying to figure out for sure what it is. :)

I wish I would get neat volunteers like that. I guess it would help if I bought more plants! ... lol

But I do have a couple of volunteers that surprised me; papayas! They came up in the center bed from ancient compost I guess. If I did scatter seeds it was years ago. The foliage is nice. I had fun growing this one in 2010 from a surprise volunteer.

Oh, my goodness, Roselee. That is amazing! I should be so lucky.

You'll be pleased to know I've uploaded 4 photos successfully direct from my hard drive this afternoon. Either my server isn't so overloaded or just posting ONE photo on a post is all Houzz is going to let me do. If I try to add a second photo, it stays hazy and never finishes loading. So I won't push my luck with multiple photos for awhile and watch THAT situation as well as this volunteer situation. :)

Looks like a variegated fatsia to me- a neat find!

Yes, now it's beginning to look like that's what it is. I just love variegatd plants. And since the previous owner of this place planted all solid green plants (mostly lyriope and bamboo nandina), the change of leaf color is a nice change.

OK, I'm beginning to think I have a variegated Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web' maybe. Looking at Google images, I saw none mottled exactly like the big leaf below, but close. This photo was taken today. The brindled/mottled leaf color is beginning to show up now:

I think it was doing better before I put it in the ground, but I'm sure the transition is just causing it to put its energy into making new roots instead of leaves right now. Do you think I should put it back in the pot?

You and Omar get the best variegated foliage plants! This certainly bears watching.

I wouldn't disturb it anymore right now, but I tend to leave stuff in pots until they are really growing well since I don't have much good soil in which to plant..
