Good catch on the castor bean plant! It's ricinus Carmencita . Here’s excerpts from my garden log:

April 21, 2005: Soaked ricinus seeds from Fragrant Path
April 26, 2005: Put six ricinus in individual peat pots
May 21, 2005: At least 4 total ricinus germed
May 30, 2005: Ricinus in blue pots

And at the same time, I put one or two in the ground, as you'll seein the picture (they get huge in the ground). As long as you water them generously and fertilize them once a week, they'll keep blooming until frost cuts them down.
