    There is this house about 3 houses down hill from me that is not lived in. The guy is using it for a storage house. We never see him. He has this large bush in the front of the house that is now blooming. Does anyone have an idea what it is. I just may snatch a few more shoots and try to start some of it. I really like it. The flowers have no scent.

    Yup, definitely a Weigela. I've got 2 ... one with those blooms and a variegated one with lighter blooms. The Hummingbirds love them!
