If I can ever get a good or even bad picture I will. any ideas? What I have seen are in two different yards, next to front porches, good sun exposure, about six foot tall, almost as round, and absolutely covered in large orange flowers. Peony big flowers!

Does Punica granatum 'Flore-pleno' even grow in the Cambridge or Canton areas?

I'd guess a deciduous azalea - they are in full bloom right now and the Exbury cultivar 'Gibraltar' has large, fragrant orange flowers

Here is a link that might be useful: does it look like this?

Gibralter is it! at first I had my doubts. from ten feet away the effect of the flower is so different than up close.

Took both your post and a trip through Dawes to convince me.
