Greetings...as you can tell I am not very well versed in botany...I have this plant growing in the shrub on the corner of my house (SWFL). It has these beautiful yellow flowers and I just figured out it is not part of the bush/shrub. Can anyone hazard a guess as to what it is? Should I do anything to it or, as the Beatles once said, "Let It Be"?

Is there a website similar to whatbird for plants? You guys/gals find this stuff so quick but I am at a loss as to where to start. I use whatbird because we have so many of them around here, I never even bother noticing birds other than robins and seagulls before. Now its the same with plants. I already managed to pretty much kill 3 of the 4 orange trees in my yard. Now I know I have to fertile them.
