    I can't seem to find the difference in the two. I would like to post a picture in plant stew but don't know which one to post it under.

    The difference is basically the size. Minor mean small, major means large. The size of the plant, bloom and leaves. And the minor has hairless leaves.

    The blooms of the minor are 2-3 cm in diameter while the blooms of the major are typically 3-5 cm in diameter
