Yellow and Orange Flowers

I found these delightful flowers on a small shrub in my mother-in-law's garden.
I have no idea what they are. Do you?
But they look a little like hot air balloons, don't you think?

      Oh wonderful! Thank you Annie. I've learned so much about flowers and birds since I've started photographing them! Mr Google couldn't help me today, but you did!! :)
