Description

The listing, Palm of Christ or "castor bean seeds" has ended.

I am offering 5 castor bean seeds, which the plant can reach the size of a small tree, or taller than a house. They are beautiful, and have been said to rid your garden of moles.

They are poison, because they contain ricin, unless you are a scientist, etc. and know what you are doing with them.

The name Ricinus is a Latin word for tick; the seed is so named because it has markings and a bump at the end that resemble certain ticks. The common name "castor oil" probably comes from its use as a replacement for castoreum, a perfume base made from the dried perineal glands of the beaver (castor in Latin). It has another common name, "Palm of Christ", or Palma Christi, that derives from castor oil's reputed ability to heal wounds and cure ailments.

I love them for their bright purples, reds and greens...
