Just moved into a new house and this plant/shrub/flower is stumping me and all my visitors! Any idea what it is? Thanks!

Hello,
From your pictures you have a Fatsia japonica.  It is sometimes call Fatsi.  This is shrub that can get 10-12' tall and wide.  If it dies back in your area then it won't get so big.  It's a beautiful plant.  I needs well drained soil and grows in sun to part shade.
Let us know if we can be of further help.  A
