The only flowers I know that will be there all year would be silk or plastic.
Reply:It depends on where you live... Begonias and Geraniums last all year in most places (as long as they are protected from the North wind in winter).

Bulbine is a tubular, almost-grassy looking plant with yellow/orange blooms. It withstands heat and cold...

Cyclamen (sp?) does well in shady, cool spots but need lots of water.

You can experiment with different flowers, just put some mulch over the soil in the pot for protection against the cold and against water evaporation.
Reply:no such flower exist.
