Poppies with dates on leaves

Locally the poppy sellers have many varieties of poppies for sale, but the poppies similar to usual ones all have leaves printed with 1918-2018 in gold.
We were surprised to read online that 1 in 6 poppies have this print.

I mentioned them to my sister in Winchester and she hadn't seen any like this for sale and still hadn't as of this morning.

Is this a regional thing?

Have we in the south-east got all the nation's supply?

Hi Joan,

We got ours at Asda at the Beach.

Should have them at other Asda stores, we popped in for
newspapers.

My oh managed to get myself and daughter poppies with the dates on from Sainsburys (we're in Scotland), but I would've thought they'd be available throughout the country.
