The Dried Papaver poppy pods, somniferum pods with stem bound are dried seed pods that come from the opium poppy plant. These pods have been carefully reaped and dried, with the stem still unchanged. They are ideal for decorative or examination objectives and are often utilized in dried flower collections. Dried Papaver pods, derived from the Papaver somniferum plant, are distinctive seed capsules renowned for their versatile applications. These Dried papaver poppy pods,  typically measuring between 1 to 3 inches in diameter, exhibit a characteristic spherical shape topped with a disc-like structure called the stigma. When fully dried, the pods display a pale, straw-like hue, often with hints of green or brown, and possess a rigid, woody texture adorned with ridged lines radiating from top to bottom.
