Two unknown plants

Hi there,

I purchased both of these plants at Ikea about 3 years ago. They were only identified as "Tropical Plants" and I would really like to know what they are. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

(Sorry for the low quality of the pictures, but I am using a cell phone camera, and that's the best I can do!). If you need any more information about the plants, just let me know.

Thanks for any and all help!

My guesses are:
On the left: Fatsia japonica, Japanese Aralia
On the right: Radermachera sinica, China Doll.

Re: Two unknown plants

#1: Fatsia japonica

#2: Radermachera sinica

The Fatsia is warm temperate rather than tropical, but that's still only to zone 8, you won't be able to grow it outdoors in Ontario

Re: Two unknown plants

Thank you both so much!! I can't believe how fast and easy that was. I swear, I spent hours trying to figure it out myself on the internet before coming across this page. I really appreciate your help! :)
