Are my Trees Manihot grahamii or Manihot carthaginensis ???

I also have a Thread under Plant and Tree ID but no help there yet
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/872557/

And, can anyone tell me the difference between these two?

You can see several of my photos here:

Manihot grahamii images are here:

My seeds pods do look like this:

But my Blooms do not look like this

They are a lighter color and are not as split petaled as in the M. grahamii photo

Blooms from my tree:

Is this photo Manihot grahamii?
The leaves are totally different !

Hi Emma
did the world move on without me?
I am old, but I thought you have a Manihot esculenta. that is
the hardy tapioca. It also come is a variegata form.

I am impressed! Naming has grown, and have now sports
been found? Do tell!!!
Let me know if you find the answer.

Hi Sher . . .

I can't answer either - still waiting to find out which I really have.
Thanks for the 'bump'....
