Description

I have this plant in my yard and it was there before I moved in. I have no idea what it is, it has huge leaves and they have a tendency to be pale green. Finally one day it flowered, and this is it, any ideas on what it is????

Sounds like no one knows, where's enmos when you need him????? It's definately a beautiful plant and that's probably why someone went to the trouble of planting it, just enjoy it Akemi like you are!!!!!! :-)

Looks very much like a cultivated variety of Ricinus communis (castor oil plant). The seeds are highly poisonous they contain Ricin and must be treated with extreme caution, they can kill !!!!!!!!!!!!
