Does anyone know what this might be? When it blooms they are yellow with brownish flowers. My MIL got it at the Memphis Botanic Garden last summer.

The bottom looks weird to me...like maybe it's not planted deep enough??? Granted, I've never had one before and don't really know anything about it, but I really like it and would love to learn how to help it thrive. I'm not even sure how to water it properly...I just water it here and there when the soil seems dryish.
Also, kitty has chewed a leaf or two and I sprayed some of the "Bitter Yuck" on it and she has left it alone. The label says it is plant safe.
