I found this several weeks ago in town:
Sorry for the image being horribly out of focus. That's the best my digital point-and-shoot will do for something that close to the lens. The fuzzy hairs on the stem don't show up, but they were there, especially near the pod. The cap doesn't really point up in a cup shape but is more flat across. The pod about as wide across as a quarter.
It had already been dry for several weeks when I picked it.
At the time, I was convinced that it was a papaver somniferum pod, but now I doubt it. I picked several and brewed tea from them, but other than burning the back of my throat, they had no effect. So I was wondering if anyone (Rach?) can identify it.
