I've tried researching this, but so far I've found absolutely nothing. I don't even know if it's a bush or what.
Thank you!

By the way, this is in Hawaii, summer time, but I think it grows year round.

Looks like a type of milkweed. Google-image that and see if it resonates?

Thanks, and I figured it out. The species of the plant is pseuderanthemum carruthersii var. carruthersii, also called pseuderanthemum reticulatum, pseuderanthemum carruthersii var. reticulatum, Golden Eldorado, or the Golden Net-Bush.

The Golden Net-bush or El Dorado is now classified as Pseuderanthemum maculatum, though the now-synonymous names of
P. carruthersii and P. reticulatum are still more commonly used in horticulture. This attractive member of the Acanthus Family (Acanthaceae), with pink and white flowers and bright yellow, young foliage, is native to Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands.
It also has a number of common names In addition to those already listed it is also commonly known as Golden or Carruther's False-face and Yellow-veined Pseuderanthemum.
