Canna Lillies Cross-Pollinating or just angry?

I moved from my beautiful Texas to Arkansas 3 years ago, bringing with me lots of my favorite bright orange and beautiful Canna lillies, and also just a few of my not-so-favorite yellow ones. (I kept the yellows, since I get lots of drop-by gardeners asking for them).

The first year, I put out the orange cannas in several gardens, and put those yellows in one small central garden. The next year, much to my dismay, all my orange lillies came up yellow!!! Okay, did these guys cross-pollinate, or could there be something about this Arkansas soil that those orange Texas babies aren't so fond of?
