Cheeseplant?

[poliphilo]

I think this is a cheeseplant. (Please tell me if you know better). It used to live in the house, but got too big and scraggy, so I moved it to the backyard- fully expecting its first winter to kill it off. Instead it has flourished as it never did indoors- and now stands as high as my chest.

I think you're right. I've been looking at pictures of castor oil plants online. They closely resemble what I've got.

Apparently castor oil is extacted from the plant's seed.
