plant id request (no attachments)

Dear fellow gardeners,

    Can you please help me identify a plant in my garden
    that came with no tag. 

    It is currently about knee-high (planted from a quart-size
    pot in April). Leaves are about 1.5", medium green, soft
    and furry/velvety to the touch, in opposite pairs on a 
    stem that is round and also velvety.

    Flowers are orange, small, narrowly tubular with a lip,
    about 1 inch long. Flowers look a little like salvia, but
    I don't think that it is a salvia. Bloom is light but
    constant.

    There is a (65kb) picture of the plant at
      http://www.geocities.com/ikuffel/ID/plant.jpg
    (I got down on the ground to shoot this, so the
     perspective is misleading in that it looks
     larger than it really is - it's really only
     about a foot and a half tall)
 
    and a closeup (45kb) of the flowers at:

Thank you,

-- Irene
