Late blooming variety with very large oriental lilly-like flowers

Around here azaleas finished blooming about 3 weeks ago, and you dont see any flowers on azaleas anymore, and in fact, even rhodos had finished up 1-2 weeks ago as well.

The other day I am sitting in my truck in a fast food drive through, when I notice these ugly azaleas that were wrongly planted in this very thin strip of mulch bed between the wall of the building and the curb connected to the drive where you drive through to pick up your order. This narrow bed has only about 1.5 feet of width by 12 feet of growing area for these 3 shrubs. So they had obviously been heavily pruning them to keep their limbs inside that narrow area, and they are no longer symmetrical.

But they were flowering, and the flowers were nearly 4" in diameter with these white and hot pink colors, shaped like an oriental Lilly almost.

What azalea variety flowers that late and produces large, Lilly-like flowers?
