Orange alstroemeria would work also, although budded forms are not nearly as attractive as the open flowers :-) Also orange mini carnations would be attractive as well, but again will produce a slightly different form from the picture bouquet. Tulips would be almost a perfect match for shape and form and with the South American cut flower market, they are available in many areas pretty much year round.

I am green, or orange as the case may be, with envy! So pretty, and I supposedly don't like orange. Apparently this year I do. A few seeds sprouted, but something thinks these plants are YUMMY. Think it's partially my fault for the probably-too shady spots where I put them. Wrong romantic notions about them twining all over this fugly metal thing... Yours looks very sunny and dry, thus happier. Very nice. Did you just forget the name, or did a critter grace your garden with the seed? Maybe they prefer to be "fugitives?" Ha!

Sorry - site requires you to sign in to see photos. Maybe try a free Photobucket account?

"Robustissima" says it all - a very vigorous plant with a spreading habit, winter hardy in zones 4-8. You should have no trouble growing it in NY.
