Funny, someone else asked about one of these about a month ago. I think this also is a flowering quince, or Chaenomeles. They are very striking in the spring when they are in bloom, but pretty plain looking the rest of the year, so maybe that is why people are wondering about it this season?

Thanks, can you perhaps guess the exact cultivar? – VividD Apr 06 '18 at 16:08
But they may be very striking for birds in autumn and winter - I've heard the fruit attracts birds, no? – VividD Apr 06 '18 at 17:00
