I would suggest Misumenoides formocipes. Females can be yellow to white in color and the dorsum of the abdomen has paired markings that are reddish to black. The legs also have reddish bands.

Crab spiders are quite common. The tend to blend into the types of flowers or plants they hang out in. I like the color variation of your's!

Definately a crab spider, but I could not find an exact match :-(
