I've got several of these in my garden, but not orange. Mine are purple, pale lilac and white tinged with purple. They come in a lot of colors and are annuals for most gardens in the US (only hardy in Zone 9-10). The Latin name is Osteospermum and it is sometimes called Cape Daisy, coming from South Africa.


The following will help with the ID and with plant care if you need any help.

Osteospermum Sunadora®*Cultivars

Osteospermum Plant Care

These are the best pictures of an orange one I could find:
