As in past years, I can't tell the difference between yellow and red fruited flowers. Some reds have a darker yellow to begin with but many start out a clear yellow or even greenish if they open when very immature. Shown here are flowers of V. Desyatku, a yellow, with two stages yellow to orange.
The second flower is Orange Minsk. The intense orange anthers are much darker than a mature red type, or a Beta orange flower, which says this tomato gets its orange fruit from tt tangerine.
