Oriental poppies. There is a new one, 'China Boy' that is white with orange
edges. Of course there are pure orange ones as well.
A great orange rose is Westerland. Can be grown as a climber or shrub
(quite large) but fabulous full flowers with orange/yellow/tad of pink to
them and wonderful fragrance. I have one growing on my street sign and it
about stops traffic. Great repeat bloom, too. Oops, sorry, guess that's
not a perennial...
How about geum? Or add a blue butterfly bush with the orange eye, or a
yellow butterfly bush with the orange eye? There is an orange phlox
paniculata -- but I haven't seen it personally so I cannot vouch for it's
orangeness.
California poppies (escholzia _____) is definitely orange, great foliage and
never stops blooming my garden, long after other poppies have quit. Reseeds
politely for me.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
