Maybe Helichrysum Italicum?
If you are hoping to use it for cooking and get the flavor, I read that it doesn't work that way.

tig - ina is right, Helichrysum Italicum is commonly known as the 'curry plant'. Its easy to grow, i dont remember mine flowering though...

hang on...

yes, a Google search says it does have yellow flowers!

but as ina says, its not used for cooking.

I have a curry plant. Apparently it keeps aphids (is it - I can't remember) away.

It didn't flower in it's first year, but I now have some lovely yellow flowers.

It should NOT be used for cooking - it is mildly poisonous. (remember curry is actually a mixture of lots of different spices, so it can't come from just one plant!)
