This plant is grown due to its tropical appearance with the large leaves. This plant started on 29 March 2008 indoors is doing well and should become quite large by the end of the season.The beans must be accounted for, since they are deadly if ingested. I pick them before they fall from the pod cluster.

Some seed pods are ripe. The seeds have various patterns different on each large side of the bean. The plant is now over ten feet tall, and very healthy.
