I thought this was a Mexican Hat plant, but it obviously isn't. It started blooming a few weeks ago and now is in full bloom. I purchased it at the Leu Gardens plant sale. I think it comes in a red also. The color is great and it is blooming at an interesting time for me in zone 9b. I heard that it was a good hummingbird plant, but so far I haven't seen any hummers visiting it.

Very cool flowers. On my monitor, the color looks like the yellow fluorescent markers. Is that an accurate reflection of the color?

The colors that I see on my monitor are close to the color of the flowers on the bush. I'm not sure about your monitor and I'm really not sure about your marker's color.:)

LOL! The color of the flowers is not very common, so I was not sure if it was just my monitor setting that was off. I googled the plant and the color is the same as it shows up in your picture. Lovely!!
