The castor bean seeds are prickly are'nt they? :o))

Loretta..

They are Dwarf Red Bird of Paradise......Lauri

Those are pretty,but they won't grow in my zone..Well they will but they need to be treated as a house plant..But just maybe if you pot me up one I might be able to find a home for one.. ;o))

Loretta...

Demstratt,

The seeds of the castor bean are not prickly, though the seed pod is.
Once the shell is removed, the seeds are actually very attractive, looking
like an exotic bead.

Oh ok then to get the seeds do I just pick the prickly seed pods,and plant the tiny seeds?Wow they hurt there must be an easier way to get them out..!!

Loretta...

Heavy gloves and some pliers, may do the trick. Oh and an extra envelope addressed to, oh, maybe...... me????....me2

Lauri,

Around here we grow the BoP's in pots that can come in in the winter. If you put them outside for the summer, then bring them in when it cools, they are quite happy and produce wonderful flowers!

Hope you are well!

Lauri in your box there will be some of the seed pods,you can have the fun with the pliers and gloves,I give up..It ain't working for me to many boo boo's..!!
Sequee said the BOP's can be potted up..hint hint.. :o)))

Loretta..

Well seem to have a few extra seed soaking now to go into 4" pots in the morning and I think they may have your and Rosies name on a couple of them...=o))...Lauri

Thanks Lauri ..I see you took the hint.. :o)))
