Names of Rare/Uncommon Orange Flowers?

I'm looking for a pretty sounding, easy to spell, perhaps foreign, name of an orange flower. No common flowers please. Links to photos of the flower would be awesome but not necessary. Thanks!

Names of Rare/Uncommon Orange Flowers?
Well the trouble is that "rare" is defined by where you are.



For me: the orange-red ginger, Tapeinocheilos ananassae, is rare while the orange California poppy, Eschscholzia californica, is common. I don't think I've ever seen a wild butterfly milkweed, Asclepias tuberosa, so that's rare for me. Various asiatic lilies, Lillium sp., are orange.



Some of the N. American west coast Mimulus species are orange (often called Monkey Flower)



Some of the orchids are orange as well:

Don't know if this is what your looking for, but it's the best I can come up with.
