Job's Tears or coix lachryma jobi

Has anyone ever heard of this plant? I would like to purchase either the plant or the seeds for this plant but can't find it Anywhere! A couple here in Iowa has some, but they're not ready yet. I might even start them indoors. The seed is just beautiful. HELP!

Job's Tears were a favorite of gardeners in the 18 & early 1900's. You can probable find them thru Select Seeds or Seed Saver's Exchange and others that handle old fashioned/historic seeds. The other place you might want to check are the forums on cottage gardens or heirloom plants and ask if anyone has seeds to swap/share.
Good luck
