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: | Quote: | WARNING
Keep this plant away from young children.
The shiny bright red seeds are very tempting and very toxic. |
 I don't believe it's considered hardy beyond zone 8.
