Very fine and rippible leaves. The color of the leaves is a dark green and the color of the flowers (BUDS?) are red and orange. The bud feels very soft and fluffy.

Notes:

Besisdes this plant I found, there was one very similar that looked more red near it. Maybe it is it's full grown size?

This is a great description! I hope that it gets identified. The photo is a little blurry/dark. Next time you are shopping on Orchard, try to take another shot!
