What is a flower garden weed that is completely maroon with tiny yellow flowers?

The weed is completely maroon. The leaves look like upside down hearts and are arranged in a "four leaf clover look-a-like "pattern. Instead of the leaf spread out flat, it hangs down thus making it look like an upside down heart. The stalk and leaves are solidly maroon in color.

I believe you are describing Oxalis. There is an ornamental plant called: Oxalis regnellii atropurpurea, which is pictured in the link. There are many other oxalis, and lots of those are weeds. Further, some oxalis do bloom yellow. I have also seen pink blooms on plants with maroon foliage.
Reply:It may not be a weed...got a picture?
