Hi all:

I purchased this at a wholesale nursery and can't seem to find out what it is. The flowers are beautiful but I got one that was not looking. I know it's a full sun plant and it has curly leaves and the flowers are orange - thanks! Oh, I live in Charleston South Carolina, if that might help you identify it.

It is a Leonotis. Based on the leaf shape, it is one of these two:

Lion's Tail (Leonotis ocymifolia)
(this is likely the same species as Leonotis ocymifolia var. ocymifolia)

Lion's Ear (Leonotis 'Savannah Sunset')
(I'm leaning toward this one based on its form.)

You can contact the wholesale nursery to see which they are selling. Smiling
