It's a Coral Bean plant. Like most things in nature which does not try to camoflage itself, the seed is deadly to humans. Birds don't seem to be affected though.

Ok, I saw a few pics of different Bean plants on my search but obviously missed that one...Hey, just noticed your Avatar - hehe. Is that in Germany? I use to deal with a Swiss German girl called Fuckerreider!! Not sure what F_cker in German is, but Fokker in dutch is Breader, which must have some sort of connection with the modern day F word!

Well, I cheated a bit there ... 
We dipped into the 20's last night with freezing temps already by 11:00. That's a hard freeze, and I stayed up to run irrigation in order to save the vegetation. If you ice the plant it keeps it at 32, and protects it from wind chill.
I'm a bit sleepy ...

This girl started flowering a couple of weeks back, I think she''s a bit confused as to what time of year it is....I am sure she's not a winter flowerer...Anyone know what she is, looks like a succulent of some sort...
And this is my favourite house plant (well kinda my favourite if ya know what I mean
) I've had her now since the end of 2002.Attachments

In what way do you mean? There are three successful methods to freeze protection ... up to a point.1.) Cover the plant with a cotton type light sheet, light in color.
2.) Irrigate the plant with water and seal it up against colder temps.
3.) Have a helicopter fly over your plant and disperse the coldest air and replace it with exhaust heated downdraft.
1 is great for a few plants of small to medium size.
2 is for when you have far too many plants to save and they aren't exactly small (think orange groves).
3 is for the big boys who are doing some serious growing and they were all at work these last two nights and will be again tonite.
All of these methods help ... up to a point. After 5-6 hours of below freezing, it gets dicey.
