No, they are not dioecious - that means separate male and female plants. Poppies have bisexual flowers, with stamens and stigma present.

No, Poppies are dioecious. In other words each flower can produce pollen and has stigma for the reception of pollen. The flowers are both male and female at the same time.
A picture of your Poppy might be useful.
