RE: Schizophragma 'Moonlight'

Thanks so much Chris.  I suspected it's relationship with hydrangea.  So
they have not changed the name of climbing hydrangea, then?  They are
related, but not the same plant?

I had poked around on the internet for a minute this morning and could
locate the plant's full name, but no picture or description.

It's basically the same as a climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomola ssp.
petiolaris), but tends to grow flat against surfaces instead of
sticking out like the Hydrangea does.  The foliage is particularly striking
to me, starting off with a silvery veination that fades.

There's some pictures (not very good) at
