Lynn, That lemon-lime Dracaena sure is pretty.
The Castor Bean is a beautiful plant mine was over 6ft and I have seen them taller in more southern climes. I am going to try and start mine earlier this year see if it gets bigger for me. The flower spikes are beautiful. It is highly poisonous, all parts of the plant are poisonous so you must give that some consideration if you are planting it as well as the size. Up here invasive isn't a problem. I have a large rock pile at the edge of the yard. Last year I planted two of them in the rock pile this year I am going to plant a few more in there looked very nice. This is before the Castors were high enough to be seen.
