I thought the same thing about the Buckeye. You really only see the blue on ours when they first emerge; it fades pretty quickly. So I'm thinking the Argentine version is a cousin, perhaps? Also, I wonder if there are different species of Buckeye in Argentina because the first picture of one she posted (possibly last month's thread) had no blue where this one seems very blue. We need an international expert on this forum!
