Jens, I do not know of the poppy in Javanese decorative art.
In Malay, which means in Indonesian also, there is a word for the poppy:- "apiun". But there is no word in Javanese for the ornamental poppy.
In Malay, Indonesian and in Javanese there is a word for the opium poppy:- "madat".
In fact, I doubt that the poppy could grow in Java or Bali.
