These blossoms grow on a perennial shrub that is about 3' x 3' in size. I have two of them in the garden and they are covered with flowers throughout the summer. They are good filler plants and I have them at the back of the garden for height and color.
I can't remember what they're called. I found them in a nursery and checked the tag. Without a piece of paper, I promised myself I would remember because they had an unusual name. By the time I drove out of the parking lot I'd already forgotten!

We had these too, in plantings around our house. We even had one with more of an orange tint. I can't remember what they are called either!!!
They look like a bigger version of the buttercup
Looks like a buttercup to me too.
Sorry to be so late (I survived a layoff and am now really busy), but this looks like a potentilla (a.k.a "buttercup shrub"), especially if it's woody.

Alex--That is it! As soon as I read it, I remembered seeing it. I knew it had a Spanish sounding name. Thanks...I updated the post title and labels!
