Shrub with red flowers. Kindly ID. Thanks!
SOLVED: Plant needs ID
It would be great if you could provide a closer picture that was clearer, but...
That is definitely an Aesculus sp. - Buckeye or Horsechestnut. The palmately compound leaves with opposite arrangement support this ID, and those are definitely the right conformation of bloom. I suspect it is a Red Buckeye (especially if this plant is in Tennessee), but Red Horsechestnut (Aesculus x carnea) is a hybrid that has Red Buckeye in its parentage.
Any chance of more pics?
Thznjs! A friend said it is Cardinal Guard. Appreciate your help. Thanks!
I'm sorry - I don't know what your friend means by a "Cardinal Guard", but if they don't mean that this is a member of Aesculus/Buckeye, then they are doing you a huge disservice, and are entirely wrong.
I googled that term, and it references a plant with similar flowers - but with oppositely arranged simple leaves. That is NOT the plant in your picture.

Please don't settle for an off-the-cuff answer from someone who isn't looking closely at what they are attempting to identify.

I agree, that's definitely an Aesculus sp.
