Default Plant ID ???

I cleared a section of my father's garden that was infested with great cane and was unused for many years. I planted tomatoes and cucumbers. I also had some volunteers come up that I mistakenly thought were okra plants. I know some okra was grown in this area of the garden. Hopefully the Tomatoville experts can identify this plant as I have had no luck to date......Please see the attached photos.

You can make ricin, the deadly poison from "Breaking Bad" from the seeds.

Yes. Castor Bean. Please scrub my answer!

Castor Beans can be very majestic with pretty flowers - as long as you don't have to worry about kids/animals ingesting them.....
