I had to look it up as I haven't grown fatsia, but no, these flowers are monoecious, i.e. have both sexes in one flower. The female parts will be hidden somewhere in the yellow bit.

Happy Birthday from one of your Playschool babies! You were genuinely my favourite. (Though even you couldn't make me like Hamble).
