Difference between Chirita "Blue Moon" and "Moonlight"

Description :
Chirita "Moonlight" (Boggan) Medium blue-purple. Green and silver markings, compact.
Chirita "Blue Moon"(Boggan) A stemless rosette that grows about 12” across. Blue-purple flowers over dark bluish-green leaves

In my place, two kinds of flowers look almost same and pattern on the leafs are hardly being distinguished. The silver markings only presented under the low temperature or high temperature difference enivorment, In hot summer at north of Taiwan, 34 Cin Day and 29 C in night, the markings will disappear and turns leafs into almost green.

From the description, you can find the obly difference out in these two very similar hybirds only by the plant sizes. Acutally, the moonlignt easily tends to a multi-growth on one stem and her sizes is around 20 cm across. in contrast,  the blue moon growth as only one plant, hardly lateral buds produced, and sizes can reach to 35-40 cm.

Clematis texensis‘Duchess of Albany’


for reference, funny is this species should be totally pink from inner to outner. At hot summer blooming in Taiwan, interesting cream white flower with pinky inside takes my frist eye in 2010 summer time. This came from Japan at last end of year as frist year age. Maybe it will trun to normal flowering in the future years.
