Hello :)
It is the first that I see with that clear tone of color since my cross 'Heavenly Blue' I bet it has a nice perfume :) The reason, why it differes from the white moonflower is because they belongs to two different species. The white is D. inoxia and the pretty blue one is B. wrightii. Lovely foliage as well. Are all the leaves heartshaped as those on the picture? I guess, that seedpods will be forming. Bees or flower-flies will assure that, but if too many flowers drops, without setting pods, you might want to hand pollinate future forming flowers :) The pods will be spiny all right. There is a broad variety within the species, but till now I have only seen one with microscopical spines (see picture of DATU-72b). Pods usually looks like those on D. inoxia (white moonflower), but are less pubescent.
