Castor Oil Plant

On my gardening magazine there is a packet of free
seeds.
In the packet there is just three seeds. They are Impala Castor oil.
I have just put them to soak for 24 hours and then I shall plant them in the greenhouse and keep my fingers crossed that they germinate.
I have included a photo of the seeds. They are beautifully marked.
Also hopefully the end product.
This is a Fatsia Japonica Spider Web that I have recently purchased .

Castor oil seeds: A retired vet friend, as a student, was in a lecture room listening to a lecture on various plants. Seeds were passed around, and he and his friend, feeling hungry, scoffed castor oil seeds. Two minutes later the lecturer explained how lethal they were! The two immediately owned up! They were rushed to hospital and their stomachs were pumped!
I hope your free seeds came with a warning!
