the bright yellowish orange tells you that there are sodium coumpounds used in making the glass.
it is so intense, that it hides the flame color givenoff by Ca+2 & by K+
it needs to be heated to energize the electrons of sodium much like you energize water when you boil it into steam ... i found that on Yahoo answers :D -margo
When a glass rod is heated, the yellow flame observed around the point of heating indicates electron being excited causing the glass to emit light in the form of photons.
Found the answer on Google.com

As glass was made of sodasilicates hence flame is yellow doe to the presence of sodium
because sodium compounds are used in making the glass. Sodium feldspars & borax
Which combination describes the flame color of the compound when heated?
Flame tests are often used to identify metals and other substances, such as sodium. If you expose the element sodium to flame, it will give off a bright, vibrant yellow color.
Sodium ions will glow yellow in the presence of a flame.
The color is red.
Yes
The color of sodium in flame is yellow.
No, sodium chloride is a very stable compound
Different elements produce different colors when heated. Here are a few examples: Lithium produces a red flame Sodium produces a yellow flame Copper produces a blue-green flame Potassium produces a lilac flame Barium produces a pale green flame

A lazy yellow flame is the "coolest" flame.
The yellow color is from sodium radiation.
A bright green color is imparted to the flame by copper chloride
Because the bottom part of the flame is normally blue, and as it rises throughout the flame it changes its color to yellow. They call this the dirty flame because the original color is blue, and has become 'dirty' and changed to yellow.
yellow
The color is red.
