335/365 - Jim - Unknown Plant

( f/3.2 50mm 1/400 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
Can someone tell me what this plant is? It has these orange flowers all over it and the seed pods hang down and spring or explode when you squeeze them. Since I was a kid, I have always loved to find the largest seed to squeeze and let explode. I'm not sure how I never knew what this plant was called. Maybe I actually have been told and have since forgot and when I hear it, I'll say "Oh yeah!".

I remember doing these all the time also...I do believe we used to do them at each others faces too. They were at the bottom of grandpa and grandma's driveway.
