I managed to send this to the wrong place before; so let me try again.

Thompson & Morgan sells the seed of the Castor Bean plant (Ricinus
communis). It is considered a half-hardy annual. Once you grow it you can
harvest your own seeds. The plant and its seeds are considered poisonous.
Do not grow it where children may be attracted to the large seeds.

This plant is called Rissin by the local gardeners in Normandie,
France.
Please help me identify it and if possible a source of supply in the
UK

Red spiky balls on large leaves

Thanks

Rissin
