I'll be interested to see pics of them in flower on your patio!

I'm interested to see them, too! Only thing I'm worried about is finding a suitable container for their height, and making sure they get enough sun without blocking sun from my other plants. Oh, the trials of apartment gardening! I did get the seeds at Lowe's, and the black flowers just were so striking I had to get them (I had actually only intended to get two seed packets that day - one packet of carrot seeds and one of flowers and I'd already grabbed the poppies).
