Yes, the centre colour for Canadian Poppies was green and then it was switched to black. As Rob illustrated, a long time ago the Canadian Poppies used to have a green and black centre but I believe this was originally first changed to green only in order to save money on production costs.

Robin, I really like those car-sized poppies and I have one I bought in the UK a decade ago from a Veteran selling them for the Royal British Legion in Charing Cross Station along with this British version.
