What is a red and yellow flower that grows in Arizona?

I was in Phoenix a month or so ago and noticed these great bushes near my hotel and on the sides of the road. They had these crazy yellow and red blossoms. The yellow part was more flowery, and inside was a bunch of red...another set of petal-type leaves and some other stuff. They were medium sized bushes, and the green foliage on the bushes had little elongated teardrop-shaped leaves. There were also some little round balls on the end of some stems, but I don't know if those were the precursor to the flowers. I have pictures of them and would love to know what they are. Anyone know?
