A variation of cauliflower being orange in color is only slighty unusual 
compared to all of the variations of this single plant species.  Who would 
seriously think that broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower were the same 
species

 
Brassica oleracea Acephala Group - kale and collard greens (borekale) 
Brassica oleracea Alboglabra Group - kai-lan (Chinese broccoli) 
Brassica oleracea Botrytis Group - cauliflower (and Chou Romanesco) 
Brassica oleracea Capitata Group - cabbage 
Brassica oleracea Gemmifera Group - Brussels sprouts 
Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group - kohlrabi 
Brassica oleracea Italica Group - broccoli

Reading the following article, I had to wonder how much resisitance there 
might be to the acceptance of an unusual variation, orange cauliflower 
(which is naturally able to store its own betacarotene due to a mutation). 
I 
can understand and even sympathize with those who have their reservations 
about the cleverly named golden rice and unfortunately name transgenic 
potato. According to the article, "Orange cauliflower was first discovered 

in a farmer's white cauliflower field in Canada about 30 years ago".
