    Valter I'm sorry I'm a little late on this one, but this is not B. versicolor. It's slightly nodding habit to the flowers, and shorter corolla in the narrow area exclude versicolor. Much too narrow for sauveolens & insignis; too big and shaped wrong for aurea. It's size & shape put it defintely within Brugmansia sect. Brugmansia (the warm-growing group of brugs), so that rules out B. sanguinea, B. arborea, and B. vulcanicola.
    That rules out all true species, so you've probably got a multi-hybrid there, possibly with versicolor, sauveolens, & aurea heritage in there somewhere. So it will always be a no-ID, but it sure is beautiful. :)
