Ban- vs zan-giku.

Naruse's "Late Chrysanthemums" (Bangiku) and Mizoguchi's "Tale of Late 
Chrysanthemums" (Zangiku monogatari) use a different first character 
for "late" -- "ban" vs. "zan".  Do the two different words for late 
chrysanthemums actually mean different things?

(Other people ask me for explanation every now and then).
