I need help identifying this wildflower. It was found ass up in a ditch out in the sticks. Ok, it wasn't literally ass up in a ditch, but it was growing in a ditch, literally.

It appears the initial petals fold downward to make a skirt for the flower. Orange. The specimen pictured is approximately 12-15 inches tall. The plant itself was about 3 feet tall. Practically no scent. Not that any in the Gravdigr household could smell, anyway.

I would call the flower waxy/fleshy.

ETA: It lasted (in water) for a pretty good while. 5 days, or thereabouts.

Anyone? Bueller?
