What type of flower is this?

I am living in Honduras, and took a picture of some yellow flowers that sort of resemble an ear of corn. I have seen them on Roatan and in Tegucigalpa. Sometimes the flower has a few white petals coming out of the yellow portion. Here is a picture of the mystery plant:

Thanks!

What type of flower is this?
It's a lollipop plant, or called a yellow shrimp plant. Scientific name is Pachystachys lutea.

Reply:Karana is right, it's Pachystachys lutea, popcorn plant.


For bonus points, the bug looks like an assasin bug nymph, Zelus sp. (maybe luridus?).
