Thank you for the ID MiguelDelSol! This one has really been bugging me since it's such a common looking flower :)

Flowers of America aren't my speciality at all, but this looks like a cuphea. The flowers are very tecomaria-ish, but the plant as a whole definitely looks like cuphea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuphea Though I could be wrong! :)
