Castor bean leaves...I don't want to know ;-)

tj

Castor Beans are an annual in Wisconsin - they have big glorious leaves that are wonderful for cement leaf casting! Not sure what other "uses" they may have!

Castor Bean plants (or parts of it) are poisonous, so you can see where the request would be kind of funny.

I also have used Plume Poppy, Rhubarb, and huge hosta leaves successfully in casting.

Waterlilly girl,

Keep my email and email in like end of september if you are still looking. I dont want to tear up my plant just yet. Thanks for the idea. I am gonna make a couple of walking path stones with them too. Always happy to help out a fellow gardener....... Barb

Come pick some- NW IL. ;-0
Did a cement leaf this spring with rhubabrb. I'm sorry I didn't make it really deep. The deep one I have waters birds, cats and looks cool. the shallow one I made is full of grass clippings. The water dries out of it too soon!

Here's a pic of the deep shape-
