Pink lemonade and Pink champagne are two separate varieties that were 
released from the USDA blueberry breeding program in New Jersey at the same 
time.  Pink Lemonade is a rabbiteye blueberry and Pink Champagne is a 
highbush blueberry, so they are different species and very different from one 
another.  Just about the only similarity is that they both are derived from 
recessive genes that block the production of pigment in the fruit.

Hope this helps.
