    Kathy, I don't have any seeds for Coral Bean at the moment,
    but I do have several plants on my property.
    I can keep an eye on them, and send you some seed if they set any this year.

    One of my favorite "weird" plants
    It was blooming in early June of last year, so I might hope to see seeds setting
    in July or August.

    Interesting! I don't think I've ever seen that one. Is it tender, or would we have a shot at something like that further north? Hmmm....

    There's great info here.
    This last bit is especially important:
    :( I don't believe it's considered hardy beyond zone 8.
