Can anyone name this plant?

I am new here so bear with me. I am not a very good gardener but my wife and I continue to get better and get more flowering shrubs, trees, etc. I have a hibiscus that stays outside in the summer (in a pot) that blooms beautifully and requires a good amount of water. We also have this yellow flowering shrub in another pot...

I would like to know more about it so I can properly care for it. My wife says it's another type of hibiscus but I'm not sure. It does require a good amount of water in the warmer temps and the yellow flowers are pretty, numerous and short-lived. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance.

Yup, another Hibiscus - a double-flowering cultivar, at that.

Thank you Lorax. So all of the standard hibiscus care is in play here, correct? Lots of water in the summer when the plant is outside and less water when we move them indoors? Thanks again!

Wow! That's a very nice Hibiscus flower! I've been looking for a double yellow Hibiscus plant. Less care needed in growing one :)
