Comments - Terrific image of a castor bean plant with deep burgundy leaves and delicately shaded rose-colored stalks. Spires covered with clusters of tiny white and pink buds are topped with feathery blossoms, creating a striking contrast to the bold shape and scale of the leaves. A wonderfully bold design with real graphic impact, published by Uchida.
