I didn't know they could have a yellow variant. Nice!

The yellow variant is quite common on the west coast. We saw many there. I've only seen one or two in Toronto.

Very nice pictures.  I believe I saw an Orange variant last year in May.  Well it's sort of Orange-ish.  It's not exactly red or even pink.
