This is on one of my mother's maples. What is it and what should she do about it?

And by a while ago, I mean 2017, but I just stumbled upon it and remembered no one ever was able to identify it for me back then.
Edit: Forgot to say this is Indiana, USA.

About a year ago and this was just a couple of leaves that a storm washed out on the driveway. It's been sitting in a pot ever since, now over a metre long and with flowers. Can anyone ID please? (Australia, near Sydney- doesn't look native to me though)

I bought this plant at a flea market this weekend in Central Virginia, USA. I'm not sure what it is, however, and I want to make sure to take proper care of it. I was hoping you all could help. Thanks so much!

I'll send a single berry via fedex to the first person to get it right. Promise.

Godwin survives everything, he likes to live very cramped and sometimes enjoys bad hair day.

My wife and I weren't sure about the species here. Please advise - TIA.
