Thanks
Yes it is! Ricinus Communis.
Oh bugger. I looked at a few pics of the adult plants and immediately remembered it. This plant grows all over Madeira like a weed, and I still have some of the seeds, which although beatiful and fascinating are apparently quite deadly. I will dispose of them later on.
Thanks for your help![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)
Anyone want a castor bean plant?

Help would be appreciated.
