That's not much to go by, Marilyn. Do the petals reflex backward--a 
cyclamineus daffodil? Is this a very early one for you? If it does have the 
cyclamineus reflexed petals, Jetfire comes to mind. I can't offhand think of 
a true miniature daffodil that has the orange long cup you described.  If it 
is Jetfire, it should be readily available.  But it's not strictly speaking a 
miniature as the daffodil world specifies a miniature. Maybe Linda has a 
better suggestion?

Here in Cincinnati, we have winter aconites and early crocuses blooming and 
one colchicum luteum in bloom. No daffodils are showing buds yet, but it 
won't be too long after 2-3 days in the 60s.
