Castor Bean Plants (Ricinus Communis)

The two types of castor bean plants are not a large as normal this year. One is called green and the other is red, referring to the color of the leaves. The seed pods are forming. Sometimes in my zone the seeds do not fully mature if the Fall season is too wet. I grow these plants for the tropical appearance, also to see how large they can get. The plant is an annual in my region. The red was planted from seed and started indoors on about 1 of May 2009. The green type was purchased froms supplier and planted 21 of May 2009.
