You need to refine your question: 1) are you concerned with germinating seeds from an orchid seed-pod; 2) planting a sympodial or monopodial epiphytic orchid; or planting a terrestrial orchid - also it should be appropriate to include the genus/species of orchid involved, as there are tens of thousands of orchid varieties each with its own growing requirements.
Opium Poppies are asexual, meaning a male does not pollinate a female. In fact, there is no male or female. One Papaver Somniferum (opium poppy) will spread around 1,000 seeds at the end of its life cycle.The seeds are produced in the center of the "pod", and will be spread once the petals fall, the "pod" swells, and eventually falls over and decays.
The seed pod protects and holds the seeds.
No, but if you ate a bunch of them before a drug test you should be very worried. poppy seeds have no THC in them, which is the active ingredient in marijuana that would show up in urine or hair tests. Unfortunately, they can cause false positives for other illicit drugs. Poppy seeds, as you might have guessed, come from the poppy plant. Poppy plants are used to make OPIATES LIKE MORPHINE AND HEROINE. The seeds grow in a large pod (about as big as a plum). The pods are picked, dried, scored, cut open, and the seeds are poured out. the pod itself is then used to make opium that can then be refined for use in manufacturing other drugs including, but not limited to: morphine, oxycontin, oxycodone, vicodin, dilauded, darvocet, fentonyl, methadone, and heroine. As the active ingredient for all of these is found in the poppy seed, i would avoid poppy seed muffins and bagels the day before you take a drug test so that you don't look like a heroine addict . . .
Morphine is derived from opium, which is extacted from the Opium Poppy, Papaver somniferum.

If you walk out in a field of California poppies when the seed pods are ripe, you can actually hear the "pop" of the seed pods as they split - and the sudden split of the pod casts the seeds several feet in all directions. I assume other poppies do the same. Could this be the origin of the common name "poppy"?
yes they do because in a pod there are more seeds
Some collective nouns for seeds are a sack of seeds, a packet of seeds, a pod of seeds.
Crude opium is made of the opium poppy's latex. This latex is obtained by cutting the unripe pod of the plant.
