Gorgeous picture of a fantastic plant, TC. Did you grow this from seed?

Yes, as a matter of fact I did grow it from seed Carla. And I thank you so much for the compliment on my photography.

Will you save some seed for me? I'd like to plant some of these next spring. I'd also appreciate some planting tips. I'm not always very successful with growing things grom seeds.

I will be glad to save some of the seeds for you Carla. These plants produce so many seed pods and within each pod there are many bean seeds. Of course, I can't guarantee viability. But I've had real good luck with castor bean seeds in the past. I can include a little note with some seed starting tips when I mail ya the seeds. How 'bout that? ;~)

When does it set seed? Where did you get your seed from? Did you take notes when you planted them so that you'd know what to expect from year to year? Is this a lot of questions? ha ha
