    I used to know, but now with so many different varieties of plants in my home, the name has escaped me, please refresh my memory! Thanks!

    Looks like a Schefflera. Schefflera actinophylla I believe.

    I just looked up that type of plant that you thought it was and it said that that type of plant produces red flowers. I have had this one for over a year and a half and it has never produced a flower, so could this still be the type you stated?

    Red flowers...? I'll have to tell my Schefflera to get with it!

    They flower at about 18 feet tall here, so I'd bet that both of yours have a ways to go....

    Good to know, thanks! I prune mine to keep it at the size it is right now. Maybe I will have to let it run wild and relocate it to an area where it can reach the 18 foot high mark. Not sure if I can squuze in another large tree to my already jungle of a living and dining room though. Thanks for the info though!
