poppy pod
Papaver seed capsule
A poppy pod is the seed capsule of the opium poppy, the bulbous structure that remains after the flower petals fall.
The pods contain alkaloids including morphine and codeine, and have been used for centuries to produce opium.
Dried poppy pods are sometimes brewed into tea or used decoratively, though their sale and possession may be restricted due to their narcotic content.
