Brugmansias ID

Question

I have been growing some Brugmansias started from cuttings.

Well the first four ones come from cuttings from the same mother plant:

flowering took place in august/september

=======================

Second one was started more recently from a pretty big cutting from a yellow-flowered tree. I also have one more from the same mother plant in a big pot - both are currently forming a flower each - quite different 'sheath' [narrower from my white ones] from what I have seen so far.

From what I understand, the yellow ones must be a different species/hybrid, mainly because of the more intensely toothed leaves and also the the very bigger size of their leaves. Here's a photo of the biggest one.

=======================

I also have some pink ones growing [also stared from cuttings], not a sign of a flower yet, but the pink ones resemble more my white ones, even though their leaves might also be somewhat more toothed.

Will be posting more photos - thanks in advance for any help :)

I think first one is Brugmansia arborea, hard to tell number two without flowers, if I had to guess, I'd say aurea.

Here is my flowering Brugmansia which Sina said it might be aurea. It's not the same plant with the previous photo, but they were both cuttings from the same plant. They flowered simultaneously, but the other one hasn't yet opened fully.

So, is it B.aurea ?

Thanks a lot you guys! Yes the flower does have a green band towards the calyx.

It has been given elsewhere but it doesn't harm:

A wonderful introduction to the anatomy of Brugmansia and botanic terms equally
