Orange Flowered Bulb Question

Dear all;
Years ago, I saw a large patch of an unusual daffodil;
probably Div 1 or 2 although that's only looking back. The cups was a
bright clear orange- no hint of red or fade to yellow. A nice bright
ripe orange, orange with a pure white corona. The owner didn't know
the name and I didn't then either. I can't recall seeing anything
quite like it.
Can anyone recommend a similar large cup daffodil with an
pure orange cup and white corona? I have tried one called 'Orange
Queen', but I don't think this is it. I bet it is something fairly
common. Maybe just out of commerce.

Sorry this is only a half orange bulb message, so here's the
other half.

Does anyone know of an orange flowered winter aconite
(Eranthis hymelis) or other species? I seem to recall that one
exists, but again haven't been able to pin it down. Appreciate your
suggestions.

OK, that's 2 half questions so it's a complete contribution.

Best Jim W.
