The dry poppy pod is attractive for both crafting and in floral arrangements, they can be found in large pods like the oriental that has a pumpkin shape or others that have a smaller pod. They have a golden wheat color when dried and have a toothed top, which give them character in any crafting project.
The pods can measure as large as 3 or 4 inches in diameter and as small as 2 inches, making them the perfect adornment for different sized dried floral arrangements. They can also stand alone in a tall vase, because the stems of the poppy pod are thick and sturdy. They can also be used in basket arrangements or in large wreaths and are completely legal to purchase. They are professionally dried with the seeds still inside the pod, which makes them even more interesting for projects.
The dried poppy pod can also be used as an adornment for fresh arrangements and can be placed in floral foam without damaging their sturdy wood like stems. They should not be placed in vases of fresh flowers that are water filled, this could damage stem of the pod. They should also not be placed under running water, when they dry they can dry spotted from the water.
