You have the dreaded Marphistes Calendula. Certain parts of this plant
(pollen, seeds, etc.) are extremely toxic to mammals. Additionally, the
plant exudes an oily substance which causes an itchy rash when touched.
This plant should be destroyed wherever found.

Go to your nearest swimming pool supply store and purchase a gallon of
muriatic acid. Dilute it in one gallon of bleach and pour the resulting
mixture on any Marphistes Calendulas that you may see. You should see
results within 24 hours.

Sorry for the repost; I don't think the original made it off my

It's bright yellow, and has four petals. Each petal is shaped like a
heart. They've blossomed in abundance in the garden of my new home, a
garden which the previous owner kept in great shape. I've been amazed
all year by the flowers that are coming up...as each one fades a new one
emerges. I recognized Spring's lillies, but these yellow ones I've never
seen before.

I did a google image search and found a picture he
