I don't know whether you can see the yellow in the flower, but it's very clear in my large photo.
And I've sent you a private message.

That flower looks past its best - I'm interested in whether they're trumpet shaped, that is, with a narrow, tubular piece behind the petals which leads down to where they join the bush. I can, though, see the yellow you mean. If you can find one in bud, and one just opened and take a pic of that, that'd be good.
I take it you checked Dipelta flowers, but also, if the bark of the bush isn't flaking in places, it won't be that.

Weigela praecox. May originally have been W praecox variegata which has reverted to plain green, but may always have been the plain green one. Flowers do have yellow as in your pic

The flowers are definitely wiegelia florida (spelling ?) but the leaves are definitely not.
