Hopefully somebody in this newsgroup can identify these small yellow flowers
(five small leaves) that have suddenly appeared in my grass -- they are
everywhere. Any idea what type of weed and how to get rid of them?


Have a look at Oxalis stricta (Yellow Woodsorrel):

Hand pulling is an option - especially if the soil is moist.
Spot treatment with a broadleaf herbicide would be effective too.
