I think this tree/bush is called fatsia. Seen in Watts Park, Southampton.

Oh, snap, we have one in the garden too - down by the stream - but this blossom (lots of it) was on a bush in the park in Southampton. Hope your shoulder will improve soon.

A great shot of this beautiful flower. I think you are right but I can`t see the leaves so is it this one? ; https://www.google.nl/search?q=fatsia+japonica&rlz=1C1AVSA_enNL446NL446&espv=2&biw=1664&bih=915&tbm=isch&imgil=ulYjw9_lSIEP8M%253A%253BqmYyfpFZJx8vXM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fde.wikipedia.org%25252Fwiki%25252FZimmeraralie&source=iu&pf=m&fir=ulYjw9_lSIEP8M%253A%252CqmYyfpFZJx8vXM%252C_&usg=__f5uozqxLZUjqO2F6WvSQ-EMD3vM%3D&ved=0CIABEMo3&ei=YjGPVO2tOtHfaJ2bgrAD#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ulYjw9_lSIEP8M%253A%3BqmYyfpFZJx8vXM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252Ff%252Ff7%252FFatsia_japonica0.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fde.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FZimmeraralie%3B2048%3B1536
