The Bush Lily features broad, dark green leaves that serve as a backdrop for its clusters of bright orange flowers. These trumpet-shaped blooms look inviting and typically emerge from late winter to early spring, lasting for up to four weeks.
Although the flowers themselves don’t have a strong scent, their vibrant color compensates for it.
2. Bird of Paradise
Botanical Name: Strelitzia reginae
This tropical plant is famous for its exotic, bird-like flowers that boast vivid orange and blue colors. The flower’s unique shape looks like a bird in mid-flight, with the petals forming a contrast against its large, banana-like leaves. Blooming primarily in winter and early spring, these flowers produce the best colors in bright, humid corners of the house.
3. Easter Cactus
Botanical Name: Schlumbergera gaertneri
The Easter Cactus is celebrated for its bright orange, star-shaped flowers that bloom in the spring, usually around Easter. These cheerful flowers appear at the ends of their segmented, arching stems, that look beautiful in hanging baskets or high-held spots. Also, the blooms last for several weeks.
4. Glowing Embers
Botanical Name: Begonia ‘Glowing Embers’
These small, ruffled blooms stand out against the plant’s bronze foliage, creating a stunning contrast that draws the eye. Blooming throughout the summer, the flowers have a slight, pleasant scent that complements their fiery appearance.

7. Bromeliads

8. Orange Star Plant
Botanical Name: Ornithogalum dubium
A unique houseplant with orange flowers, the Orange Star plant absolutely stands by its name. It produces clusters of star-shaped orange flowers from late winter to early spring. The plant’s upright, green stems provide a sturdy base for the delicate flowers.

Botanical Name: Ixora coccinea ‘Orange’
This tropical houseplant boasts small, tubular orange flowers that bloom in dense clusters.
