Pachystachys lutea
known by the common names Lollipop Plant and Golden Shrimp Plant, is a subtropical, soft-stemmed evergreen shrub between 36 and 48 inches (90 and 120 cm) tall. The zygomorphic, long-throated, short-lived white flowers emerge sequentially from overlapping bright yellow bracts on racemes that are produced throughout the warm months. It is a popular landscape plant in tropical and subtropical areas of the world.[1]--Wikipedia
These plants can be semi-invasive in the Florida Panhandle and sandy areas where it can easily self seed.
Similar shaped plant in pink is where this plant gets its name... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justicia_br...
