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".
