Different colors
A green cauliflower, in the B. oleracea Botrytis group, called Romanesco has been commercially available in Europe since about 1990. Its head is a nice example of a fractal image in nature, repeating itself in self-similarity at varying scales.[1] An orange cauliflower (B. oleracea L. var. botrytis) called Orange Bouquet is available in North America, sporting 25 times the level of Vitamin A than white varieties. This variety is a hybrid of a swamp-growing mutant found in Canada and a standard white cauliflower. Another orange cultivar goes by the name 'Cheddar'. Purple cauliflower also exists, originating in Southern Italy. The purple colour is caused by the presence of the antioxidant group anthocyanin, which can also be found in red cabbage and red wine.

But there is also a variety - a cross b/w cauliflower and broccoli - called broccoflower.
I don't know how to distinguish between broccoflower and green cauli.
