Val -

Not on this plant - the blooms are all red.  I think the one you are 
describing is commonly known as the "shrimp plant" Justicia brandegeeana - 
there is also a "pinecone shrimp" that has redder blooms and a yellow flower 
that comes out - this one only blooms in the fall.

Thanks for your help.
