The seedpods of Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) are a great decorative feature after the flowers are over. They can remain in the garden or be used in a floral display either fresh or dried.
Morphine and codeine (a monomethyl ether of morphine) are opioid analgesics obtained from unripe seed pods of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum (figure 19.18), and have been known for centuries.
