Question
The plants are about 3 feet tall and the flowers are small; smaller than they appear in the picture. They came up in raised area of the yard that stays very dry, next to a driveway and gets at least a half day of bright sun.
Answer
Dear lisavoncile, the plant you've photograph appears to be Lysimachia ciliata (fringed yellow-loosestrife), a genus now placed in the Myrsinaceae. The image of the flower is a bit blurry, so I cannot be 100% confident. But if you examine images of this species on Go Botany, you should be able to confirm the identification. Thank you for sharing your images.
