The Earth is Our Mother

I noticed my plant is looking yellow in the leaves. Is this a sign that it needs water? It's been raining some lately so I haven't looked but perhaps the rain isn't hitting the patio. I'm going to look at it and check. It could also be recovering from transplanting shock maybe. I think I'll be moving it indoors tonight however. I need to find out what kind of plant it is so I can post questions and hopefully get some help. Going to take a leaf to the local nursery and check it out.

~edit: Not enough rain was getting to my plant so I watered it.
