Description
Seems everything that is beautiful, exotic and enticing is also so very very toxic. This Castor Bean plant is one of the worse culprits at that very thing. I used to grow it in my own gardens but the care one must take when handling these large and exotic plants is just too much. Even after all that I would worry that I had taken enough care or when company would come into my garden I would fret over them touching it as it lures them a little closer.
Still, even after knowing all I do about this intriguing plant I find it so beautiful and I contemplateeach spring as to whether I should add it to my garden or not. Fortunately, my fear over the plant wins out over my love of it's sight.
This plant was found in the botanical gardens and there it sits behind a short hedge with signs everywhere telling people not to touch. Very good reason why people should keep an eye on their children when in public places.
