Thanks guys for the help, I've figured it out. Its an invasive species called Creeping Oxeye from South America. Its in the sunflower family.

Water Hemlock grows everywhere here in Florida. That is not Water Hemlock. Water hemlock has a unique characteristic in the fact that the veins of the leaf run between the teeth and not to the point.

See this growing in dense groups under shaded areas with good soil. It has thin 1cm long hairs growing on its round stem.

thanks all appreciate the ID

See this growing in fields here in Florida, and I recently visited Michigan where it was growing as well. Its very tiny, only standing about 4".

Its very rare for them to carry it, its killed when cooked properly, and if you contracted it, its easily cureable nowadays.

In honesty your more likely to contract a tapeworm from undercooked pork.

Okay I got a chance to go out and get some more pictures.





The bark is elderberry bark. Its gotta be some sub-tropical species of elderberry.

Can I retract my "definitely" 

Sorry there are not pears where I live. Looking at leaves in comparison they look more like pears.

...though...

"Another term for guavas is pera or variants thereof. It is common around the western Indian Ocean and probably derives from Spanish or Portuguese, which means "pear" " - wiki 

Guava is still hardy in zone 8. Its def. Guava. Enjoy

Thats guava.

Fruit edible raw or made into jam or jelly. Leaves can be used to make tea or used for seasoning.
