I see this plant when I walk to the gym, but I don't recognize it. Do you know what it is?

IDed! It's a castor bean.

Rincinus (Castor Bean) in the neighborhood

This plant tends to be invasive here in Los Angeles, but I often see it grown as an ornamental in European gardens. Its large leaves certainly make a statement.

The lovely seedballs of the highly toxic Ricinus communis (castor bean plant) in my garden this past summer. The leaves make for a striking contrast among the greenery. I have a soft spot for toxic plants.
